Planting, broadacre crop, soil clay content 0 to 10%, controlled traffic {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.000
Included processes:Process includes tractor and other machinery production and operation of equipement including fuel production and use. Remark: This inventory has been developed as part of the AusAgLCI initiative funded by a partnership of Australian Research and Development Corporations (RIRDC, CRDC, GRDC, SRDC, HAL, MLA, DA, FWPA) and Research Agencies (CSIRO, USQ and Q DAFF), with technical support from Life Cycle Strategies. More detail on inventory development can be found in the 'AusAgLCI Methodology for developing Life Cycle Inventory' documents located at www.auslci.alcas.asn.au. Energy use from WA farm energy calculator. Geography: Refers to an average production in Australia.
