No mystery percentages

How SowNext ranks crops.

The engine filters impossible options first, then ranks the remaining crops using explainable horticultural and practical factors.

Filter

Crops are removed if their adjusted start window, sunlight, protection or space requirements do not fit.

Broad regional shifts narrow spring and autumn starts. Cloches and unheated structures extend—not erase—season limits.

Reliable crops aligned with the chosen harvest goal rise. Same-family sequences receive a visible caution and ranking penalty.

The interface shows reasons, constraints, start method, likely harvest range and the crop timing source.
