Methodology

Information sources range from published scientific literature to expert knowledge. Where available, New Zealand based knowledge is provided. For a number of minor crops not widely grown in New Zealand there is greater reliance on overseas information or expert knowledge.

 

Fitness for purpose / limitations

This table indicates whether the dataset is suitable for different types of questions at different scales.

Caveat(s) The information is general. Where possible we have included comments about the potential effects of limiting conditions on crops and how these might be mitigated. We do not provide information about differences in cultivar or variety performance or growing requirements. For a number of minor crops not widely grown in New Zealand there is greater reliance on overseas information or expert knowledge. There is limited or no information on disease and pest risks in this version. Growing suitability may not reflect economic or environmental suitability.
