Banana, cavendish, wet tropics, plant cycle {AU}| | AusLCI, U

Unit process Australia v00.00.000

Included processes: The inventory includes the processes of growing banana, plant cycle on arable land. Machine infrastructure is included. Inputs of fertilisers, pesticides and irrigation as well as transports to the farm are considered. The direct emissions on the field are also included. The system boundary is at the field gate. The product of growing banana, plant cycle is banana. All further processes after the field gate like transport to the storage, storage, packaging, etc. are excluded. 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. Inventory refers to the productionof 22.5t of banana on 1 ha over 0.769230769230769 year. ; Geography: Refers to an average production in the wet tropics region of Queensland. Technology: Average Time period: Data collected for 2012 Version: 1.0 Record: Data entry by: Sandra Eady, Jonathan Hercule ; Telephone: +61 2 6776 1394; E-mail: sandra.eady@csiro.au ; Company: CSIRO Livestock industries; Country: AU Generator: Data entry by: Sandra Eady, Jonathan Hercule ; Telephone: +61 2 6776 1394; E-mail: sandra.eady@csiro.au ; Company: CSIRO Livestock industries; Country: AU

Sampling procedure
Sampling procedure: Data in this process was sourced from the Queensland Agbiz 'Cavendish bananas whole farm budget tool (Far North Queensland)' (http://agbiz.daff.qld.gov.au/plants/337.htm). The Gross Margin information is used to derive the calendar of operations and the types and levels of inputs (herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers) for the production system. Emissions of N2O to air from the fertilizer N inputs were based on the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (NGGI) unless specified. Due to the structure of background processes, on farm emissions from urea are reported as biogenic CO2. N fixation from legumes is excluded. Emissions of pesticides into the environment follow the ecoinvent approach. Option for using water and air partitionning factors based on PestLCI is included. PestLCI is a tool developped by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), adapted to Australia. Selected growing region for banana, plant cycle is: Agroecological zone 24 - Wet Tropic Coast . Biological pesticides are excluded. Application rates for inputs are indicative of typical rates used and recommended by industry, they are not statistical averages.
