Solid grey boxes indicate that farmers manage these operations, while thick grey hatched boxes indicate that farmers sometimes manage these operations. Boxes surrounded by a dotted line represent operations performed together. For stubble cultivation, the number in parentheses is the number of tractor passages (if >1). For nitrogen fertilisation, the number is the nitrogen application rate in kg N ha-1 (if mentioned). For plant growth regulator, F means that the farmer indicates the plant growth regulator is a fungicide. B, buried straw; C, chopped straw; CC, cover crop; CK, crosskill roller; CP, cultipacker; DH, disk harrow; H, harrow; R, straw removal; RH, rotary harrow; Rho, rotary hoe; RL, roller; SC, S-tine cultivator; SCu, stubble cultivation.
