| fallows areas (with green fertilizer) | The area of fallow land is the arable land not used for production purposes but maintained in a good agricultural condition, in compliance with the environmental protection requirements. It includes land both entitled and not entitled to area payments (e.g. farms with the area of agricultural land of less than 1 ha). Fallow land also includes land prepared for this year’s sowing (e.g. of vegetables), which was not sown or planted until 30 June 2010, as well as the crop area intended for ploughing of plants cultivated as major crops (green fertilisers). |
| permanent crops | Permanent crops stand for the total plantation area of fruit-bearing trees and shrubs and their nurseries (orchards), nurseries of ornamental trees and shrubs and nurseries of forest trees for commercial purposes, as well as other permanent crops, of which wicker, fruit-bearing trees and shrubs grown outside plantations, as well as other permanent crops cultivated under cover. |
| kitchen gardens | The area of kitchen gardens is the land located usually around the household residence, often separated from the remaining farm area. It covers the area of crops which mainly serve as self-supplies for the household of the farm holder. Infrequently the crop surplus may be sold. A kitchen garden may cover both agricultural and orchard crops, perennial and nonperennial. The area of lawns and ornamental gardens, as well as recreation area, should not be treated as part of the kitchen garden. |
| permanent meadows | The area of permanent meadows is the land permanently overgrown with grass (for 5 years or more), which in principle is mown. In mountainous regions it also includes the area of mown mountain pastures. Meadows should be maintained in a good agricultural condition and mown at least once a year, but the crops do not have to be used for production purposes. |
| permanent pastures | The area of permanent pastures is the land overgrown with grass (for 5 years or more), which in principle is not mown but left for grazing. In mountainous regions it also includes the area of mountain pastures left for grazing and maintained in a good agricultural condition (including permanent pastures not used for production purposes and pastures for extensive grazing, located on mountainous land or at high altitudes with low-class soil, where no fertilisation, sub-sowing, melioration, etc, is performed). |
