The format 1 could be used for documenting information about Millets, Cereals, Oil seeds, Commercial crops, Tuber crops, Vegetables, Legumes, Aromatic crops etc. The column No. 9 other details vary with the nature of crops. For measuring local status, there need to identify a particular year significant changes in ecology occurred and compare the status as past and present (past = before the particular incident). We have to list out all possible features of a crop/plant and give short forms of the same. If relevant, cultivation practices, propagation techniques, usage etc can be included in the column 8, in associated TK.
