Dear colleagues

I am trying to calculate crop diversity using crop diversity index (CDI). However, I am having some fields as monocropped while others are mixed cropped. In calculating CDI, we use area of the crop and I am more familiar with CDI when its monocropped fields. In a case whether I have maize and beans in the same field of the size 1 hectare, how would you advise I calculate CDI. Should I assign 1 hectare to maize and also assign 1 hectare to beans although its the same field? I am being tempted to divide into two equal portions. What do you advise?
