*DIAFE’s accounting statistics 1995/96. The figures are excl. of set-aside and control of couch grass.
** Based on the Crop Rotation Group's work on average pesticide consumption from 1994. The figures are excl. of set-aside and control of couch grass.
*** Economically optimised scenarios are dynamic model scenarios. The figures include set-aside.
****Agronomically optimised scenarios are static scenarios with fixed crop rotations. The figures include set-aside.
***** Average figures for the whole of Denmark, excl. set-aside and incl. control of couch grass
