[1] [2] In Afghanistan, however, it is standardized at 2,000 square metres (0.49 acres). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The jerib was roughly equivalent to the other customary land measures in south Asia and the Middle East, the Indian bigha and the Sumerian iku , varying between 1,600 and 3,600 square metres (0.40 and 0.89 acres).
It is usually less than one acre (43,560 square feet or 4,046.8 square metre) but can extend up to 3 acres.

From 1833 the rupee and tolā weight was fixed at 180 grains, i.e. 11.66382 grams. Hence the weight of 1 maund increased to 37.324224 kilogram. [3] Traditionally one maund represented the weight unit for goods which could be carried over some distance by porters or pack animals.
A killa or acre is measured rectangularly, reckoned as an area 36 karams (198 ft) x 40 karams (220 ft) (43,560 square ft). 1 /5th of a killa or acre is known as bigha 1 Karam = 5.5 feet = 1.83; or Gaj; 1 Yard or Gaj = 36 Inch = 0.91 Metre = 3 feet; 1 Sq Yard = 9 Sq Feet; To convert Sq feet to Sq Yard = Divide by 9
See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.
Since an acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (i.e. 66 ft × 660 ft or 20.12 m × 201.17 m), an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet (1,233.5 m 3). There has been two definitions of the acre-foot (differing by about 0.0006%), using either the international foot (0.3048 m) or a U.S. survey foot (exactly 1200 / 3937 meters since
The seed ratio is another way of calculating yields. Cereal yield in tons per hectare and kilograms of nitrogenous fertilizer applied per hectare of cropland. Innovations, such as the use of fertilizer , the creation of better farming tools, and new methods of farming and improved crop varieties have improved yields.
