Personally, I don't think you can estimate your
yields this way. There are just too many variables that you
have no control over that greatly affect yields.
The number of temperature units or degree days over
various time periods coupled with hours of sun per day and temperatures at
night.
Amount of rain AND frequency AND how that compares
to the number of degree days combined with irrigation amounts, rates, schedules, and method used.
Soil temperature.
Wind.
Pests.
Soil fertility - affected by fertilization, rain
fall, irrigation, tilth, drainage, etc.....
The list goes on and on.
I think all you can do is plant more than you think
you'll need and hope for the best. Granted, after several years you'll get
a "feel" for how much to plant, but you will never know.
What do the rest of you think?
