Yields per plant are generally not done because there is so much variability from plant to plant and between varieties of the same crop.



The chart on page four of this link will give you average yield per 10 ft. of row:

the guideline in this states no taken care of seeds and in case you plant non USDA qualified seed or plant inventory than you're able to exhibit which you regarded in a minimum of five diverse places for organic and organic seed for the types you planted. yet once you're no longer an authorized organic and organic advertisement grower that is not significant as long via fact the seeds are no longer taken care of with a fungicide which comprise captan which will persist on your soil for months and could do great harm to the soil existence. you may no longer purchase GMO vegetable seeds as very few exist and that they do no longer look to be offered to homestead growers (you're able to understand in case you acquire which comprise there could be contracts and waivers to sign in the previous purchase and than employer men could determine you're becoming them in accordance to the contract and not doing something unlawful which comprise saving GMO seed, which all has patents) becoming organically is a technique it is all approximately soil fertility and becoming the organic and organic remember on your soil to boot as attaining a stability between sturdy and undesirable (as in bugs and ailment). each of something isn't significant to the technique

Are you just meaning pesticide, herbicide free or fertilizer free as well?



Big difference.



If you spend the time and effort to fertilize, weed, and manage pests in an organic manner, there will be no significant differences. Are you willing to go the distance?



You will have to spend a lot of time and material improving the soil, hoeing, and getting rid of bugs/

you'll probably get some of those, but my guesses are you'd have really bad yields if you are doing a job, in school, etc, growing organic is hard as **** and most people don't enough time to weed for a couple hours everyday.

Expect 50% of normal yield for these crops.

You have got to be kidding, do you really expect anyone to spend the time, probably hours and hours to research this, while you set back on your butt and wait for the results ??!!
