The introduction of the Euro will end the need for a system to dampen currency fluctuations in the agri-food sector : the [European] Commission has thus decided to propose a reform of the agrimonetary system which includes in particular abolishing... the current agricultural conversion rate, the "green rate", which is distinct from the official exchange rate. This complex mechanism, which was originally introduced to spread the adjustment of national agricultural prices to currency fluctuations over time, will lose its raison d’être. Since the Member States using the Euro will no longer have different exchange rates, there will be no need for such green rates. 3, record 1, English, - agricultural%20conversion%20rate

Evaporimeter(atmometer) An evaporimeter consists of a flat, porous ceramic disk(Bellani plate) in which water is drawn up by capillary action as water is evaporated from the disk. It is used to directly estimate crop evapotranspiration rate. Several commercial models can be easily installed near the edge of a field or on a roadway in a field.(The unit must be located far enough into the field to avoid field boundary effects.) One commercial model provides a green canvas-like material covering the ceramic disc to simulate crop leaf color. Reasonably good correlation has been found between field measurements and that calculated from Penman-type equations. Small difference in evaporation rates may be found between individual meters. Maintaining water levels and removal for freeze protection are necessary. 5, record 3, English, - Bellani%20atmometer

[On a créé] les montants compensatoires monétaires (MCM) en 1969, dans le but d'éviter que les échanges commerciaux soient faussés. Un pays dont la monnaie s'apprécie bénéficie de MCM positifs, ce qui lui permet d'étaler dans le temps la baisse de ses prix agricoles tout en évitant d'être submergé par les importations. Ces MCM tiennent, en fait, lieu de prélèvements à l'importation et de subventions à l'exportation. Inversement, lorsque la monnaie d'un pays se déprécie, des MCM négatifs jouent le rôle de subventions à l'importation et de prélèvements à l'exportation. 2, record 5, French, - montants%20compensatoires%20mon%C3%A9taires

... a new suite of indices have been developed that exploits narrow band spectroradiometric data. The physiological reflectance index (PRI) introduced by Gamon et al.

(1997) renamed this the photochemical reflectance index and suggested that the index was a good predictor of photosynthetic radiation use efficiency at the leaf or canopy level, if the canopy is uniform and completely covers the soil background.
