General comment on data set Activity Linkable Id: 52bd6981-3ebd-4873-a009-39f4b8c01259 Activity Subtype: ordinary transforming activity Macroeconomic Scenario: Business-as-Usual This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of maize grain (fresh matter).The average annual yield is 7200 kg/ha at a moisture content of 13% caused by the local climate. This activity represents the production of maize grain in cropping system (e.g. crop rotation with other grain in the agricultural cycle, mainly soybean). There is no maize monoculture in Brazil. Therefore, exchanges that are shared (land occupation and liming) are related to the time occupation of maize production. The total amount of mineral fertilizers (N-P-K) and pesticides (atrazine, glyphosate, imidacloprid, thiodicarb, beta-cyfluthrin, methyl ester, teflubenzurom, fluxapiroxade, pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin and cyproconazole) applied are 90 kg N.ha-1; 50 kg K2O.ha-1 and 4.65 a.i./ha, respectively.

Time representativeness
Data set valid until 2017
Time representativeness description Validity: Data is valid for the entire period. Time period of the most of the data collected for this dataset.
Technological representativeness
Technology description including background system Technology Level: Current Cultivation of maize grains like second harvest in cropping system (e.g. soybean followed by maize). Activity Start: This activity starts after the harvest of the previous crop. Activity End: The dataset includes the inputs of seeds, mineral fertilisers and pesticides. It is assumed that no organic fertilisers are applied. The dataset also includes all machine operations and corresponding machine infrastructure and sheds. Machine operations are: 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. Includes the transportation of products inside the farm: water from water source to field, fertilisers from farm gate to field and grains from harvester to truck. Furthermore, direct field and land use change emissions are included, with important regionalizations added. The activity ends after harvest at the farm gate.

Sampling procedure The main source of data for agricultural inputs and operations are projects conducted by Embrapa Milho e Sorgo (CNPMS) and Embrapa Soja (CNPSO). Data are also provided by relevant experts related to agricultural sector of maize in Mato Grosso state (BR). Emissions from the agricultural process are estimated according to Nemecek and Schnetzer (2011) and Canals (2003). The system of maize grain production analyzed corresponds to the north region of Mato Grosso state that represents 70% of the total production in BR-MT, according to grains survey IBGE/SIDRA (2016) (https://sidra.ibge.gov.br/home/ipca15/brasil).

General comment Emissions of heavy metals to soil and surface water estimated from mineral fertilisers and liming as recommended by Canals (2003), metal content in maize from Anjos & Mattiazzo (2000). Nemecek & Schnetzer (2011) state that "some of the values for emissions of heavy metals to the soil are negative. This means that more heavy metals are exported than imported. It must, however, be borne in mind that these heavy metals are transferred either to the water bodies or to the products harvested from the field".

General comment Emissions of heavy metals to soil and surface water estimated from mineral fertilisers and liming as recommended by Canals (2003), metal content in maize from Anjos & Mattiazzo (2000). Nemecek & Schnetzer (2011) state that "some of the values for emissions of heavy metals to the soil are negative. This means that more heavy metals are exported than imported. It must, however, be borne in mind that these heavy metals are transferred either to the water bodies or to the products harvested from the field".
