What is a Crop?
A crop is a plant or plant product that is grown and harvested for food, fiber, or other purposes. Farmers cultivate crops in fields and harvest them once they are mature.
Add a Crop

- Navigate to "Crops":
- Click on “Crops” in the left sidebar.
There are two viewing dashboards available
- Field View: This dashboard displays each Fields information individually, including the Crop and Cultivar/Variety related to each specific field.
- Crop View: This dashboard displays each Crop individually, including the Fields on which the specific crop and cultivar/variety is grown.
Add a crop from within the crop form:
