Description
Return unaccounted=initialCount-harvested-unmarketable-retained and harvestedShare=harvested/initialCount.
An indoor-growing record or design budget combines quantities such as tray area, operating time, water volume, electrical energy, and light output. Ratios depend on a stated production boundary and period. Supplied conversion factors and idealized geometry need to remain separate from measured equipment and crop performance.
Return unaccounted=initialCount-harvested-unmarketable-retained and harvestedShare=harvested/initialCount.
When to use this tool
Use Vertical Farm Crop Loss One Tray Term when you need one stated production, lighting, water, or geometry term from a consistently defined growing-system budget.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter initialCount, harvested, unmarketable, retained. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read unaccounted, harvestedShare. Use the output convention below.
Return unaccounted=initialCount-harvested-unmarketable-retained and harvestedShare=harvested/initialCount. Require positive integer initialCount and nonnegative integer outcome counts.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| initialCount | Initial Count | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| harvested | Harvested | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| unmarketable | Unmarketable | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| retained | Retained | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| unaccounted | Unaccounted | Required. Safe integer. |
| harvestedShare | Harvested Share | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The outcomes are not constrained to sum within initialCount. Negative unaccounted and harvestedShare above one can expose inconsistent or differently based records rather than a validated crop-loss estimate.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Compare the supplied budget with measured system records and keep the same production boundary. Equipment selection, installation, and crop requirements need an appropriate engineering or agronomic assessment.
