Error in equations 2.1.2-1 and 2.1.2-13 : losses in the field are not correctly computed

Your suggestion.

To compute the total quantity of product that was grown in the field, before losses during harvest occured, you should do the following.

Yield (before losses) = Yield (after losses) / (1 - losses [%])

and not

Yield (before losses) = Yield (after losses) * (1 + losses [%])

Thanks Pierrot-Baptiste, you are correct, but as a quick test with an assumed 2500kg ha-1 yield and a grain harvest loss of 2% made a difference of 1.02kg ha-1 between the two methods, we'll add this fix in one of the next updates when other things are off the table.
Kind regards,
