Concepts
  • AGRICULTURAL HOLDING:  Technical-economic unit that uses common production factors such as labour, machinery, facilities, land, among others, fulfilling the following four conditions: 1) yield agricultural products or maintain, in good agricultural and environmental conditions, the lands that are no longer used for productive purposes; 2) reach or exceed a certain size (in area or number of animals); 3) be subject to a single management; 4) be located in a well-defined and identifiable area.
  • UTILISED AGRICULTURAL AREA:  Area of the holding which includes arable land (cleared and under cover of forest stands), family vegetable garden, land under permanent crops and permanent pasture.
  • LEACHATE:  Liquid or semi-liquid waste from stables consisting of a mixture of faeces, urine and water from washing out and therefore of variable dilution. It can be used directly to fertilise land provided that the land is not too near human habitations and there is no danger of polluting the soil or water tables (legislation). The flowage from nitre beds is commonly called leachate.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
