11. Calculating yield
The yield from harvested area shall be measured when the moisture is 8-13 %.
yield from sample area (g) x 473560
Yield (bsk) =------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample size (13 ft x 6 ft) x 454 x 72
454 = gram in a pound
72 = Pigeon pea weight in a basket (lb)
