Where during one harvest year several crops are grown in succession on an area, the main crop is the crop that has the highest values of the production.

The leguminous plants sowed in mixture with other crops serve as a nitrogen source for the main crop, but is usually of more value when allowed to grow after the main crop has been harvested and then ploughed in.

It is also felt that recording them at the time of harvesting allows sufficient consistency with production costs to be maintained in the analysis of income from the activity (cf. 2.012).

The recording of output at the finished product stage, i.e. at the harvest (for crop production), in fact allows an adequate degree of consistency between it and the production costs to be maintained.

If more than one crop is grown in a field during the harvest year, the area should only be indicated once: for the main crop, if irrigation was used for it, or otherwise for the most important irrigated secondary or successive crop.

increased in four stages, the first increase occurring for the second harvest following accession by the incidence of the reduction in national aid s that the Hellenic Republic is authorized to maintain in a degressive fashion for tobacco pursuant to Article 69.

field work (ploughing, sowing, harvesting, orchard maintenance, etc.);

quantity, main characteristics and harvesting year of the cereal offered,

which have been completely sown and harvested and maintained in normal growing conditions;

Threshers; maize huskers and maize threshers; harvesting machinery, animal drawn; straw or fodder presses; fanning mills and similar machines for screening seeds and cereal graders

Sugar-cane production also faces specific handicaps in comparison with the production of sugarbeet in mainland Europe, particularly regarding the harvesting of cane.

It is also felt that recording them at the time of harvesting allows sufficient consistency with production costs to be maintained in the analysis of income from the activity (cf. 2.012).

The recording of output at the finished product stage, i.e. at the harvest (for crop production), in fact allows an adequate degree of consistency between it and the production costs to be maintained.

The intervention price for common wheat, durum wheat, barley, rye, maize and sorghum is fixed for qualities corresponding as far as possible to the average quality of the cereals harvested in the Community.

maintenance of the ecological relationships between harvested, dependent and related populations of Antarctic marine living resources and the restoration of depleted populations to the levels defined in subparagraph (a) above; and

For the purposes of Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999, 'silage grass' means the crop grown on areas mainly sown to herbaceous grasses and harvested green at least once a year with a view to preservation in an enclosed environment by anaerobic fermentation.

(c) "agricultural activity" means the production, rearing or growing of agricultural products including harvesting, milking, breeding animals and keeping animals for farming purposes, or maintaining the land in good agricultural and environmental condition as established under Article 5,

The intervention agencies designated by the Member States shall buy in common wheat, durum wheat, rye, barley, maize and sorghum which are offered to them and have been harvested in the Community, provided that the offers comply with conditions laid down, in particular in respect of quality and quantity.

During the periods referred to in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, any holder of a homogeneous batch of not less than 80 tonnes of common wheat, rye, barley, maize or sorghum or 10 tonnes of durum wheat, harvested within the Community, shall be entitled to offer the batch to the intervention agency.

The Parties recognise that good oenological practices, as referred to in Article 19 of Annex V (Agreement on trade in wines), are the aggregate of processes, treatments and techniques for the production of wine, authorised by the legislation of each Party, whose aim is to improve the quality of the wine, without losing its essential nature, and which keeps the authenticity of the product and safeguards the main characteristics of the grape harvest that gives them their typical features.

The irrigated base area shall be equal to the average area irrigated from 1989 to 1991 with a view to harvesting arable crops including the increases made pursuant to Article 3(1), fourth subparagraph, last sentence of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92. However, the irrigated base area in Portugal shall be progressively increased by up to 60 000 ha, for those areas where it has been established that investment in irrigation began after 1 August 1992. This increase may be added partially or totally to the irrigated maize base area as referred to in Article 3(2).

Maize (Zea mays L.) harvested for grain.

Crops sown and harvested mainly for their protein content.

quantity, variety, main characteristics and year of harvest of the rice,

work in the field (ploughing, sowing, harvesting, orchard maintenance, etc.),

Other plants grown mainly for their oil content, harvested as dry grains, which are not mentioned elsewhere.

The main measures of effectiveness were the number of eggs that could be harvested and the ongoing pregnancy rate.

Other predominantly annual fodder crops (e.g. vetches, green maize, cereals harvested and/or consumed green, leguminous plants).

This includes green maize directly consumed by animals (without silage) and whole cobs (grain, rachis, husk) harvested for feedstuff or silage.

Where during one harvest year several crops are grown in succession on an area, the main crop is the crop that has the highest value of the production.

Whereas, to determine the dates for the start and the end of the marketing year, account should be taken of the representative dates at the start of the colza and rape seed harvest and the sunflower seed harvest in the main production areas in the Community;

whereas, in the case of maize and sorghum, the intervention price is adjusted between November and May to take account of monthly increases, and on 1 October to take account of the new harvest;

(D/H)I mainly characterizes the vegetable species which synthesized the sugar and to a lesser extent the geographical location of the place of harvest (type of water used during photosynthesis).

maintenance of the ecological relationships between harvested, dependent and related populations of Antarctic marine living resources and the restoration of depleted populations to the levels defined in subparagraph (a) above;

whereas, in order to prevent shortcomings on the market, the Commission must be able to adjust the term of the contract in the light mainly of the harvest forecasts for the marketing year following that in which the contract was concluded;

As a result of adverse weather conditions the producers in various regions of some Member States cannot harvest notably potatoes, maize or their sugar and fodder beet before 15 January 2003, on lands to be set aside in the 2003/2004 marketing year.
