Traditional and modern harvest index values per crop group, and the derived HI gap factor that quantifies how much more residue is produced per unit product under traditional versus modern varieties. Used by calculate_crop_residues() to compute crop-specific HI_correction_factor from Modern_variety_adoption shares.

Format

A data frame with columns:

crop_group

Crop group name (8 groups).

HI_traditional

Typical harvest index of traditional/landrace varieties (dimensionless, 0-1).

HI_modern

Typical harvest index of modern/improved varieties (dimensionless, 0-1).

HI_gap_factor

Ratio of residue:product under traditional versus modern HI: ((1-HI_trad)/HI_trad) / ((1-HI_mod)/HI_mod).
