Farm-level economic consequences of a reduced use of pesticides in Danish Agriculture
Series: Farm Management ; 11(7) January 2003, 495-507(7)Publication details: 2003Subject(s): Summary: In 1997 the Danish Minister for Environment and Energy set up a committee to evaluate reducing pesticide use. Describes the farm economic consequences, as well as the agronomic background and the farm economic model developed to calculate these consequences. The analysis was built up around a set of farm types representative for Danish crop rotation regimes and a set of scenarios intended to show the consequences of different degrees of reduction of pesticide use. For each scenario the crop yield losses, alternative cultivation techniques and a number of overall restrictions on the crop rotation were estimated and incorporated in the farm economic model. By using the model the new optimal allocation of crops and pesticides was decided for different farm types and scenarios [Taken from journal abstract].| Item type | Current library | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
