If CEC < 12 and (STK * 2) < 260 then K Rec = (((260 - (STK * 2) * 4) / 4) + (0.24 * Yield); if (STK * 2) >= 260 and (STK * 2) <= 360 then K Rec = (0.24 * Yield) If CEC >= 12 and (STK * 2) < 300 then K Rec = (((300 - (STK * 2) * 4) / 4) + (0.24 * Yield); if (STK * 2) >= 300 and (STK * 2) <= 400 then K Rec = (0.24 * Yield) |

If CEC < 12 and (STK * 2) < 260 then K Rec = (((260 - (STK * 2) * 4) / 4) + (1.17 * Yield); if (STK * 2) >= 260 and (STK * 2) <= 360 then K Rec = (1.17 * Yield) If CEC >= 12 and (STK * 2) < 300 then K Rec = (((300 - (STK * 2) * 4) / 4) + (1.17 * Yield); if (STK * 2) >= 300 and (STK * 2) <= 400 then K Rec = (1.17 * Yield) |
