 What Is It

The process of gathering information, such as profit margins per crop,

pest and disease infestations, weather and climatic information, rainfall,
costs, economic conditions – and analyzing it to be able to find patterns that
will help us work more efficiently, sustainably and profitably on a farm.

What kinds of data do we collect?

 Occurrence of pest and disease  Pest and Weed Control

infestations. application programs and
 Weather and climatic information – statistics.
year on year.  Non-target species data.
 Rainfall & Soil sample data.  Crop quality margins.
 Costs of agricultural inputs.  Agronomic data.
 Yield data.  Profit margins per cultivar / per
 Prevailing economic conditions in the crop / per block / per orchard /
sector, country and internationally. per Hectare.
 Production costs per crop.  Agricultural photographic data.
 Soil and fertilization costs and
applications.

The reasons why we would collect Agricultural Data

Patterns of the environment include rainfall, climate, dry cycles, original
vegetation, seasons, movement patterns of animals, etc. Processes of the
biophysical environment include the interaction and the relationship between
food webs, human activities, soil, climate, water, plants, animals and solar
energy.
It is always useful to have detailed records and data in order to ensure
that we make optimum decisions in order to maximize profits, production and
quality, while keeping risks and problems to a minimum.
Collecting samples
There are various well-known and tried and trusted methods of
sampling. Before we explore these different methods, let us first decide what
types of things we could possibly sample and what those samples could tell us.

Methods of collecting or sampling

 Measuring -Measuring is applicable to the measuring of specific
quantities for different uses, measuring size, measuring distance,
measuring speed.

4
The International System of Units (SI):
All systems of weights and measures, metric and non-metric are linked
through a network of international agreements supporting the International
System of Units. The International System is called the SI, when applying the
basics of collecting Agricultural Data, you will almost constantly be required to
measure. But measurement may mean different things to different people. So,
let’s explore a few of the basics to ensure we all agree to the same terminology:
There are seven SI base units:
• The meter for distance,
• The kilogram for mass,
• The second for time,
• The ampere for electric current,
• The kelvin for temperature,
• The mole for amount of substance, and
• The candela for intensity of light.
There are also other units of measurement derived from SI – some of these
that you might encounter include:
• The newton for force and the pascal for pressure;
• The joule for energy and the watt for power;
• The degree Celsius for everyday measurement of temperature;
• The traditional mathematical units for measuring angles (degree);
• The traditional units of civil time (minute, hour, day, and year);
• Two metric units commonly used in ordinary life: the liter for volume
and the ton (metric ton) for large masses;
• Knot, units traditionally used in meteorology;
• The hectare for area;
• The bar, a pressure unit.
It may include the examples below, but is not limited to;
• Measuring quantities of chemicals in ml. (example- pesticides,
herbicides, fertilizer etc.) in order to apply it for a specific purpose and
then collect data

5
 • Measuring the data samples that was collected, i.e. determining biomass
of a sample of plants collected in the field; measuring the length of the
plant stems, leaf surfaces etc.; another may include measuring plant
height of maize plants in a trial where a specific chemical is tested, to
see if there was any photo-toxicity that occurred on the plants.
• Measuring a surface area, to determine what area is to be planted under
a specific crop
• Measuring the distances, a tractor can go with a specific range tank of
diesel.
Weighting (in grams or kg)
Weighting would imply the mass of an agricultural sample, item,
implement, chemical, live-stock (cattle, dog, sheep, poultry etc.), for whatever
purpose in agriculture. The weighing of cotton samples may be important to
determine yield of seed cotton per plot or per treatment; the weighing of hens
on a poultry farm may be important to determine the effect of a specific
feeding program that was followed. It is therefore important that the learner
should determine the objective of the method of data collection, before the
method is identified as the most appropriate.
Counting
Numerical adding/subtraction/multiplication and division of numbers,
would include bit is not limited to: counting live-stock, counting plants per
surface area, counting samples that show a specific characteristic, counting
stock of any sense, e.g. pesticide containers; counting liters of water filling a
tank; counting insects on a crop; etc.
Counting plays a very big role in collecting Agri-data. A farmer may
decide to count the number of weeds or pests in a specific area, in order to
determine whether or not chemical pest control is necessary.
We also count the amount of fertilizer, and the number
of plants or trees in any given area, in order to
determine:
• “how much” fertilizer we should give.
• “how many” fruit it delivered.
• “how much” money we spent to fertilize, pest control,
etc. each and every plant.
Counting by means of trapping:
Light traps are commonly used to monitor pests in some crops, or to
observe which species are present as ecological indicator species within an

6
area, especially where a new agricultural area is planned. Light trap may
consist of a funnel-type trap consisting of a black light situated between
Perspex panels of approximately 30 cm in length, placed on a hollow
fiberglass bucket, for collecting insects. In the bottom of the bucket, a small
12V battery is situated and connected to a transformer.
An insecticide is placed within the trap on
cardboard egg boxes inside the bucket of the trap, to kill
insects that enter the trap, especially moths so that they
are in good condition for means of identification and
counting after being caught. The trap is monitored at
specific intervals for a number of nights depending on
the purpose of the exercise. This trap can be used e.g. to
monitor American bollworm on many crops. The number
of moths of each of the species being monitored can then
be counted over a period.

Pheromone traps & plant volatiles can be

used to monitor male moths in an area, and the
population density can be determined on these
numbers. Lures can be obtained from a distributed,
e.g. from Viking and Insect Science SA for funnel-type
pheromone traps. Lures are placed within the roof of
the funnel, and replaced every two – three weeks, on
removal of the moths caught. For plant volatiles (e.g.
Texas volatiles), they can be replaced every three
weeks because of the rate of release and volume of
volatile present. These traps are used to determine biodiversity in an
agricultural field, or the density of a specific pest population.
Observing
Observation basically means watching
something and taking note of anything it does. For
instance, you might observe a bird flying by watching
it closely. The sciences of biology and astronomy have
their historical basis in observations by amateurs,
therefore Agricultural data is often much enhanced by
focused observation.
Observation of agricultural items, activities,
practices, would include visual observation of the
specific activity or item, observation of data sheets to

7
compile a data package; observation of an instrument (tool or person) being
implemented to gather data.

How and what to observe

Observation is one of the most important aspects of collecting
Agricultural Data. It is a skill developed through dedicated action and
meticulous methodology.
Recording
May take place in any form, in written form, in
oral form, electronically, digitally, photographically,
on tape or cassette.
Continuous collecting – some collecting
methods will include the continuous monitoring of
data by making use of some kind of equipment, this
could include any of the above concepts, or
counting, measuring, weighing, etc.
For example: The continuous monitoring of the occurrence of insects on
specific plants can be monitored by trapping the insects with the aid of a
pheromone trap, a plant volatile trap, or a “sticky trap”, or even a light trap.
These insects are then removed on a regular basis (mostly weekly) from the
trap, and the trap substance (pheromone, plant volatile, light battery) is
replaced to gather the next data (insects).
The correct use of data collection methods in a specific context is
demonstrated. Data methods which may include, but is not limited to
measuring (sampling), recording, monitoring, sampling, sorting etc. for a
specific objective in a specific context, and should be identified by the learner
reaching competency in this specific outcome. The collecting method should
be identified and communicated with the supervisor to determine of it is
suitable for the purpose.

What’s More
Data gathering mostly related to measurements, however, knowing the
measurements is not enough. It requires the units as you have learned on your
lower grade level. In this activity we are going to gather data necessary in our
farm production. Prior to this, let us recall what we have previously learned
from our previous modules.

Measurement Units
Measurement is to find a number that shows the amount of something. A
measurement unit is a standard quantity used to express a physical quantity.
Let us learn about the physical quantities and some of the standard units used
to measure them.
