Resource consumption and pollution emission of fertilizers, pesticides and agricultural machinery When using this data for life cycle assessment, ensure that the system boundaries are correctly applied. The data covers from the mining of raw materials for fertilizers and pesticides production up to the emission of pollutants during the rice cultivation phase. Users should integrate this data with information about downstream processes if the full life cycle of rice is to be considered. Pay attention to the technological applicability, especially concerning the equivalent coefficient method when converting the environmental impacts, as methodology may differ according to the goal and scope of the study.
