Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is application of plant protection product, by field sprayer. The reference product is application of plant protection product, by field sprayer. This is delivering the service of application of plant protection product, by field sprayer on an area of one hectare. It includes expenditures of mobile infrastructure (tractors, machinery) operating with diesel. Diesel consumption is the most crucial parameter within this service as it linearly affects direct emissions generated through diesel combustion. If primary data of diesel consumption is available, user can employ the right amount (ha) of this service by correlating the diesel consumption of this service with the primary data. An example of use: A user wishing to model this service is aware that within his/her model the diesel consumption (kg/ha) is twice as much as in this service. The user can adapt the service better to their needs by modeling 2 ha of it. The service does not include the input of plant protection product. A user wishing to employ this dataset should add the correct amount of plant protection product to their model themselves. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
