Metadata research draftEvidence limits

⚠️ Status: drafted from the literature survey. Value ranges Unknown until source notes/full text. Use docs/methodology/units.md and preserve full context (PRD §6.4).

Scales of yield

• g / plant — Unknown
• g / m² — Unknown
• kg / 10 m² — Unknown
• kg / 100 m² — Unknown
• kg / 1,000 m² — Unknown
• kg / hectare — Unknown

Context required with each figure

Location · species/cultivar · sowing date · density · soil · water · N · harvest method · study design · source (S-####).

Yield figures appear here once tagged with evidence level (M/S/L/A/C) and type (scientific vs practical). Amaranth yield is strongly context- and density-dependent (row-spacing × population × cultivar: 10.2134/agronj2000.922329x; sowing date: 10.5424/sjar/2004023-93; yield×quality 10.4081/ija.2017.993; density×manure 10.15835/nbha3723458). Conflicts expected and preserved (see evidence.md).

Small-scale relevance

• Realistic home-garden yield per m² accounting for manual threshing/cleaning losses — Unknown/Needs experiment.
• Useable-grain yield vs raw-panicle yield gap — Needs experiment (processing losses; see processing.md).

Structured-data impact

• Feeds yield fields of data/crops/amaranth.yaml (typical_g_m2) once evidence exists.
