The aim of this study is to assess the potential environmental impacts of producing maize, grass-clover, ryegrass, and straw from winter wheat as biomass feedstocks for biorefinery. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method included the following impact categories: Global Warming Potential (GWP100), Eutrophication Potential (EP), Non-Renewable Energy use (NRE), Potential Fresh Water Ecotoxicity (PFWTox) and Potential Biodiversity Damages (PBD).

Asunción (Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentàries) ; Hermansen, John Erik (Aarhus University)
Pesticides help to control weeds, pests, and diseases contributing, therefore, to food availability. However, pesticide fractions not reaching the intended target may have adverse effects on the environment and the field ecosystems. [...]

29 p, 957.6 KB Modelling ecotoxicity impacts in vineyard production : Addressing spatial differentiation for copper fungicides / Peña Valbuena, Nancy Angela Lucia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Antón Vallejo, Ma. Asunción (Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentàries) ; Kamilaris, Andreas (Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentàries) ; Fantke, Peter (Technical University of Denmark)
Application of plant protection products (PPP) is a fundamental practice for viticulture. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has proved to be a useful tool to assess the environmental performance of agricultural production, where including toxicity-related impacts for PPP use is still associated with methodological limitations, especially for inorganic (i.

Els pesticides són àmpliament utilitzats en l'agricultura per protegir els cultius en front de plagues, malalties i males herbes, i millorar, per tant, la productivitat i reduir pèrdues en les etapes de cultiu i emmagatzematge. [...]
Los pesticidas son sustancias ampliamente utilizadas en la agricultura para la protección de los cultivos. En los últimos años, la herramienta de evaluación ambiental, análisis de ciclo de vida (ACV) ha alcanzado avances significativos en cuanto a las estimaciones de impactos de pesticidas y diversas metodologías se han desarrollado para este fin. [...]
Pesticides are applied to agricultural fields to protect and control crops from pests, disease and undesired weeds, to increase crop productivity and reduce blemishes, and their global use is substantial. [...]
