Abstract
The present report describes the work carried out in the PRECIOUS project.
Pesticide use under future climate depends on crop choice, crop rotations, timing of crop production, and occurrence of problematic weeds, pests and diseases. Here, crop choice and rotations are defined for current and future (until 2050) climate conditions for two different farm types: dairy farms and for arable/pig production farms. The crop rotations were defined for sandy and loamy soils respectively based on current crop statistics for two catchments in Denmark. The changes in crop choice, crop management and pesticide use under climate change for 2050 were based on expert judgement from experience from a study tour to Germany and France and from literature on climate change impacts on agriculture. Technological changes in crop and crop management are not included in the scenarios.
