Estimating Farm Inputs and Labor Requirements

• Estimated irrigation expenses from planting up to last
harvest*
Irrigation expenses is the product of price of water per volume, the
number of volumes per day and total number of days to the irrigated
from planting to last harvest. This is expressed as
Irrigation Expenses = Price of Water x No. of volumes x Total no. of days
Volume Days
• Estimated worker hired to perform irrigation from planting
to last harvest. *
Estimated workers = Worker x Total irrigated area
Square area
• Estimated number of days for spraying insecticides* (per
worker)
Estimated no. of days = No. of days x Total land area
Square area
• Estimated workers needed for spraying insecticides* (in one
day)
Estimated workers = No. of worker x Total land area
Square area
• Estimated cost of insecticides used for spraying*
Estimated cost = Price x No. of insecticides x Total land area
Insecticides Square area
• Workers’ salary during insecticide spraying*
Worker’ salary = Salary x Total no. of days

Example:
Given the gathered data.

Total land area 50,000

sq. meter
Amount of fertilizer 20/kilo
Number of days consumed in planting the 2 day
area
Number of workers planted the area 5 workers
Amount of salary paid in planting the area 300/day
Number of workers who fertilized the area 2 workers
from planting up to the date of this
survey.
Quantity of fertilizer used from planting 200 kilos
up to the date where survey was made
Amount of salary paid in applying fertilizer 300/day
from planting to the date of this survey
Quantity of fertilizer to be used after the 500 kilos
survey until final harvesting*
Number of workers required to perform 2 workers
fertilization after the survey until final
harvesting*
Amount of salary paid in applying fertilizer 300/day
from planting to the date of this survey

Computation of salary paid in planting the area.

Total amount of salary = (no. of days) (no. of workers) (amount of
salary)
Total amount of salary paid in planting the area = (2)(5) (300)
=3,000.00

• Total amount of fertilizer consumed from planting up to the date

of the survey.
Total amount of fertilizer = (amount of fertilizer per kilo) (no. of kilos)
Total amount of fertilizer = (20) (200) = 4,000.00

• Total amount of salary paid in fertilizing the area from planting

up to the date of the survey.
Total amount of salary = (no. of days) (no. of workers) (amount of
salary)
Total amount of salary paid in fertilizing the area = (2)(2) (300) =
1,200.00

6
 • Total amount of fertilizer consumed after the survey until final
harvesting.
Total amount of fertilizer = (amount of fertilizer per kilo) (no. of kilos)
Total amount fertilizer = (20) (400) = 8,000.00

• Total amount of salary paid in fertilizing the area after the survey
until final harvesting.
Total amount of salary = (no. of days) (no. of workers) (amount of
salary)
Total amount of salary paid in fertilizing the area = (4)(2) (300) =
2,400.00

Total cost of all the expenses is the sum of the following:

Total amount of salary paid in planting
3,000.00
the area
Total amount of fertilizer consumed from 4,000.00
planting up to the date of the survey
Total amount of salary paid in fertilizing
the area from planting up to the date of 1,200.00
the survey
Total amount of fertilizer consumed after 8,000.00
the survey until final harvesting
Total amount of salary paid in fertilizing
the area after the survey until final 2,400.00
harvesting
Total cost of all the expenses 18,600.00

PERFORM CALCULATION

It is important to be able to measure and calculate surface areas. It might be

necessary to calculate, for example, the surface area of the cross-section of a canal
or the surface area of a farm.

This section will discuss the calculation of some of the most common
surface areas: triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram,
trapezium, and circle.

7
The most common surface areas illustrated:

The height (h) of a triangle, a rhombus, a parallelogram or a trapezium,

is the distance from a top corner to the opposite side called base (b).
The height is always perpendicular to the base; in other words, the
height makes a "right angle" with the base. An example of a right angle
is the corner of this page.

In the case of a square or a rectangle, the expression length (1) is commonly used
instead of base and width (w) instead of height. In the case of a circle the
expression diameter (d) is used.

The height (h), base (b), width (w), length (1) and diameter (d) of the most common
surface areas

DETERMINATION OF THE SURFACE AREA OF A FARM

It may be necessary to determine the surface area of a farmer's field. For example,
when calculating how much irrigation water should be given to a certain field, the
size of the field must be known.

When the shape of the field is regular and has, for example, a rectangular shape, it
should not be too difficult to calculate the surface area once the length of the field
(that is the base of its regular shape) and the width of the field have been
measured.

Field of regular shape

8
EXAMPLE

Given Answer
Length of the field =50 m Formula: A = length x width (formula 2)
Width of the field = 30 m = 50 m x 30 m = 1500 m2

QUESTION:
What is the area of the same field, expressed in hectares?

ANSWER
A hectare is equal to 10 000 m. Thus, the formula to calculate a surface area in
hectares is

Surface area in hectares (ha)= surface area in square meters(m2)

10 000 ... (8)
In this case: area of the field in ha=1500m2 =0.15 ha
10 000
INTRODUCTION TO VOLUME

A volume (V) is the content of a body or object. Take for example a block. A block
has a certain length (l), width (w) and height (h). With these three data, the volume
of the block can be calculated using the formula:

V (block) = length x width x height = l x w x h .... (9)

A block

EXAMPLE
Calculate the volume of the above block.

Given Answer
length = 4 cm Formula: V = length x width x height
width = 3 cm =4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm
height = 2 cm = 24 cm3

The volume of this block is expressed in cubic centimeters (written as cm). Volumes
can also be expressed in cubic decimeters (dm3), cubic meters (m3), etc.

QUESTION
Calculate the volume in m3 of a block with a length of 4 m, a width of 50 cm and a
height of 200 mm.

Given Answer
All data must be converted in meters (m)
length = 4 m Formula: V = length x width x height
width = 50 cm = 0.50 m = 4 m x 0.50 m x 0.20 m

9
height = 200 mm = 0.20 m = 0.40 m3

QUESTION
Calculate the volume of the same block, this time in cubic centimeters (cm3)

Given Answer
All data must be converted in centimeters (cm)
length = 4 m = 400 cm Formula: V = length x width x height
width = 50 cm = 400 cm x 50 cm x 20 cm
height = 200 mm = 20 cm = 400 000 cm3

Of course, the result is the same: 0.4 m3 = 400 000 cm3

VOLUME OF WATER ON A FIELD

Suppose a one-liter bottle is filled with water. The volume of the water is 1 liter or 1
dm3. When the bottle of water is emptied on a table, the water will spread out over
the table and form a thin water layer. The amount of water on the table is the same
as the amount of water that was in the bottle.

The volume of water remains the same; only the

shape of the "water body" changes.

One liter of water spread over a table

A similar process happens if you spread irrigation water from a storage reservoir
over a farmer's field.

QUESTION
Suppose there is a reservoir, filled with water, with a length of 5 m, a width of 10 m
and a depth of 2 m. All the water from the reservoir is spread over a field of 1
hectare. Calculate the water depth (which is the thickness of the water layer) on the
field.

A volume of 100 m3 of water spread over an area of one hectare.

The formula to use is:

10
Water depth (d) = Volume of water (V)
Surface of the field (A) ….(10)

As the first step, the volume of water must be calculated. It is the volume of the
filled reservoir, calculated with formula (9):
Volume (V) = length x width x height = 5 m x 10 m x 2 m = 100 m3

As the second step, the thickness of the water layer is calculated using formula
(10):

Given Answer
Surface of the field = 10 000 m2 Formula: d= Volume water (m3)
Volume of water = 100 m3 Surface the field (m2)
d= 100 (m3)
10 000 (m2)
d = 0.01 m
d = 10 mm
QUESTION
A water layer 1 mm thick is spread over a field of 1 ha. Calculate the volume of the
water (in m3).

One-millimeter water depth on a field of one hectare

The formula to use is:

Volume of water (V) = Surface of the field (A) x Water depth (d) ..... (11)

Given
Surface of the field = 10 000 m2
Water depth = 1 mm =1/1 000 = 0.001 m

Answer
Formula: =surface of the field (m2) x water depth (m)
Volume (m3) V = 10 000 m2 x 0.001 m
V = 10 m3 or 10 000 liters
