General comment This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of canola grain in average with 16% moisture content, produced in the South region of Brazil, mainly Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná states. Accoding to Conab (2021), this region is reponsable for all the canola grain produced in Brazil. The average annual yield conidered for the calculations is 1371 kg/ha (CONAB, 2019). This activity represents the production of canola grain in a no tillage and non-irrigated cropping system, as a second crop, mainly after soybean. Land occupation and liming are shared with the previous main crop, and related to the period of time that canola use the land for production. The total amount of mineral fertilizers (N-P-K) and pesticides pesticides applied are in accodance to a regional survey by De Mori et al. (2019) and Masaro Junior et al. (2019). The dataset includes lime an gypisum, mineral fertilisers, and pesticides inputs.
Agricultural operations are also included: limestone and gypsum application, by spreader; application of plant protection product, by field sprayer; planting with starter fertiliser, by no till planter; fertilising, by broadcaster; and combine harvesting.
Direct field emissions of greenhouse gas and heavy metals, among other emissions are included, considering for the calculations the following references: Canals, (2003); IPCC, (2006); Nemecek and Schnetzer, (2012), Nemecek et al., (2015). The activity ends after harvest at the farm gate.
