AGRIBALYSE v3.2 dataset, 2024.
original ecoinvent name: Pear {BE}| pear production | Cut-off, U

This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of pear. The average Yield_ from 2009 - 2012 is 48.2 t/ha. The data are representative for pear production in Belgium used for the export market. Mineral NPK fertiliser input is 36-0-21 kg/ha. Organic fertilisers applied amount to 2.56 m3/ha of liquid manure and 1.71 t/ha of solid manure. Total active ingredients (a.i.) applied as pesticides amount to 26.15 kg a.i./ha.

The dataset was modelled within the project 'World Food LCA database (WFLDB)'. The aim of this project was to provide inventories of a broad variety of agricultural products and processes and to cover for each product at least 50% of the global export market. The export share of pear produced in Belgium amounts to 12% of the global export (tonnage exported in 2010). The production system regarded in this dataset aimed at representing pear produced in Belgium for the export market.

PEF-Quality: data quality rating (DQR) = 3.0 (i.e. good quality). This dataset refers to an average situation; for specific situations exchanges might differ substantially due to site specific parameters

Production volume: 277274240 kg
Included activities start: This activity starts with the nursery producing fruit tree seedlings, i.e. grafted young trees to be planted.
Included activities end: This activity ends with the waste treatment after the clearing of the orchard (rooting up the trees). The dataset includes all activities of a year in a year in the productive phase of the orchard including the establishment phase per year of lifetime (21 years, 2357 trees/ha planted), the clearing of the orchard including waste treatment. 
The establishment phase of the orchard includes tree nursery, soil cultivation, planting trees, sowing grass, installation of trellis system (posts and wires) and irrigation. Fertiliser and pesticide use in a year of the establishment phase is assumed to be half of the amount of a year in the productive phase.
The productive phase of the orchard includes machine operations, corresponding infrastructure, fuel use and sheds. Machine operations in the productive phase are: soil cultivation (mulching, mowing), fertiliser and pesticide application, harvesting and irrigation. Further, direct field emissions and land use change are included. At the end of the productive phase the orchard is cleared by rooting up the trees.
Heavy metal uptake by the crop is considered.
The inputs of seedlings, fertilisers and pesticides as well as packaging of fertilisers and pesticides are considered. fertilisers and pesticides are considered. The dataset doesn't include emissions from manure storage because these are within the system boundary of animal production.
