| Description of cultivation conditions | Agronomic*: 12 farm types described Optimised**: 10 farm types described |
Agronomic*: 12 farm types described Optimised**: 10 farm types described |
Only areas where pesticides are permitted were described. Crop rotation not optimised | Agronomic*: crop rotation = 0-scenario Optimised**: 10 farm types described |
Agronomic*: crop rotation = Pres Crop. Optimised**: 10 farm types described |
| Estimates of farming economy |
yes Agronomic* and optimised** results for 10 farm types |
Agronomic* and optimised** results for 10 farm types | no estimated as close to 0-scenario |

no | yes based on optimised farms |
no (estimated as almost identical to Present Cropping) |
| Description of environmental and health-related effects | yes | yes, in certain areas | no | yes, in certain areas | yes, in certain areas |
| *In agronomic crop rotation, there is generally no optimisation
based on economic conditions, present production of special crops, production of domestic
animals, and set-aside areas were retained. Adjustments to minimise the problems caused by
pests have been made, to the extent this was considered possible. **In optimised crop rotation, adjustments were made for economic conditions, although only after a large number of restrictions were set from agronomic considerations. The optimised crop-rotation regimes contained almost no special crops in the 0-scenario and up to 33% set-aside was included, as the fixed upper maximum. |
