En statistique agricole, expression qui a été employée pour désigner la dimension des exploitations. La S.A.U. correspondait à la superficie totale moins les bois et le territoire non agricole, c'est-à-dire aux terres labourables, à la surface toujours en herbe (S.T.H.), aux cultures permanentes (vignes, vergers, etc.) et spéciales (maraîchères, etc.), à la superficie des cours et des bâtiments de l'exploitation ainsi qu'à celle des landes non productives, qui, dans certaines zones pauvres ou désertées, représentent parfois des étendues importantes. 7, record 1, French, - superficie%20agricole%20utile

Few modern pesticides are usable in the technical form. Generally, the chemical is extended or diluted, thereby enabling a more economic coverage of the area or a reduction in the possibility of damage to vegetation. This is usually done by mixing the technical material with a neutral carrier.
