Arguments

ID

(character) A field id

B_LU_BRP

(numeric) The crop code

B_SOILTYPE_AGR

(character) The agricultural type of soil

B_SC_WENR

(integer) The risk for subsoil compaction as derived from risk assessment study of Van den Akker (2006). Options include: 1,2,3,4,5,10,11,401,901 and 902.

B_AER_CBS

(character) The agricultural economic region in the Netherlands (CBS, 2016)

B_GWP

(boolean) is the field located in a groundwater protected area (options: TRUE or FALSE)

B_GWL_CLASS

(character) The groundwater table class

A_SOM_LOI

(numeric) The organic matter content of the soil (%)

A_N_RT

(numeric) The organic nitrogen content of the soil in mg N / kg

B_N_RT

(numeric) The mean organic nitrogen content of the soil in the LSW region (mg N / kg). Optional.

B_N_RT_SD

(numeric) The variance in organic nitrogen content of the soil in the LSW region (standard deviation) (mg N / kg). Optional.

penalty

(boolean) the option to apply a penalty for high risk BBWP field indicators. Default is TRUE.
