Concepts
  • AGRICULTURAL HOLDING:  Technical-economic unit that uses common production factors such as labour, machinery, facilities, land, among others, fulfilling the following four conditions: 1) yield agricultural products or maintain, in good agricultural and environmental conditions, the lands that are no longer used for productive purposes; 2) reach or exceed a certain size (in area or number of animals); 3) be subject to a single management; 4) be located in a well-defined and identifiable area.
  • LAND PLOUGHING:  Motorised, towed or mounted machines passing over or between rows in the soil. This operation may be used to prepare the land for sowing, fighting infestations, or creating favourable conditions for installing and developing crops.
  • MAIN TEMPORARY CROP:  A crop with the highest income, when several crops are planted successively in the same field of land in the same agricultural year. By convention, whenever woods and forests are associated with temporary crops, the crops are the main ones. In associations of temporary and permanent crops the temporary crops are always considered to be the secondary ones.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  The length of time for which data are collected, e.g. a specific day, month or year.
