What data can be derived from a yield monitor for on-farm research?

Yield monitors provide valuable real-time data that can help assess the performance of various crop varieties in terms of their yield. By collecting data specific to the yield of different varieties planted under similar conditions, farmers and researchers can analyze which varieties produce the highest yields and under what circumstances. This information directly relates to the profitability of different crop varieties, as higher yields generally lead to increased economic returns.

In the context of on-farm research, comparing yield data across multiple crop varieties enables informed decisions for future planting, enhancing overall productivity and profitability. Therefore, the data derived from a yield monitor is key in evaluating and optimizing crop variety choices based on actual yield performance observed in the field.
