CAP 2023 and codes cultures : details for some perennial crops and fallows

codes cultures mobilized for the next campaign CAP are modified.

Fewer (it will, however, require clarification purposes according to the labels of cultures), they take into account changes in the programming CAP 2023, and in particular the appearance of écorégimes (see the fact sheet by clicking here).

Thus, in the new list of codes cultures, it is specified the category of agricultural area (arable land (TA), permanent pasture (PP) or perennial crop (CP)) of the field is declared, as well as the category of finite surface area for the écorégime.

In fact, for many cultures, these categories may be different either because :

• the conduct of the CP is similar to those of annual crops and enroll in polyculture systems with an annual rotation, and/or because some of these cultures are also ridged ;
• the weeding, inter-row is difficult, due to the type of soil ;
• culture covers the entire surface and the notion of inter-row has no meaning ;
• these cultures, which are not trees, shrubs, shrubs, are involved in the diversification (mainly plants, perfume, aromatic and medicinal (PPAM)).

The crops considered as CP from the point of view of the category of agricultural land, but as a TA for the écorégime are :

(the numbers in parentheses correspond to the details to make the codes cultures)
• hops (HBL) ;
• other vegetables or fruit, perennial (FLP) : asparagus (001), rhubarb (002), other fruit, perennial (003) and other vegetables, perennial (004) ;
• aromatic herbs perennial non-tree or shrub, other than the vanilla (ARP) : tarragon (001), oregano and marjoram (002), rosemary (003), mountain savory (004), thyme (005) and other aromatic plants perennial non-tree or shrub > 5 years ago (006).
• the perfume plants perennial, other than lavender and lavandin (PRF) : geranium (001), everlasting (002), vetiver (003), violet (004), ylang-ylang (005) and other plants to scent lasting for 5 years and more (006).
• the lavender and lavandin (LAV) : lavender (001) and lavandin (002).
• the medicinal plants perennial, other than trees (SMES) : gentian (001), hyssop (002), lemon balm (003), clary sage and officinale (004), verbena (005), other medicinal plants perennial of 5 years and more (006) and blackcurrant bud (007).
• the perennial crops with high biomass (MSW) : miscanthus (001), switchgrass (002), cane forage (003), silphie perfoliée (004) and other crops with high biomass out of bamboo (005).
• nurseries – plants left in the ground less than a year (ENP).

The other notable change for the codes crops fallow.

The codes fallows are simplified from 2023 onwards : the former code J5M (fallow for 5 years or
less), J6S (fallow for 6 years or more declared as SIE) and J6P (fallow for 6 years or more) are deleted.
Surfaces previously reported with codes J6P will need to be reported with a code from the topic of permanent grassland.
Surfaces previously declared with the code J5M will need to be reported with the new code ” JAC “.
Surfaces previously declared with the code J6S in 2022 will not be declared with the new code ” JAC “as if they are reported to the eco-system (see” biodiversity and agricultural landscapes “) or the BCAE8 (surfaces biodiversity-friendly – details by clicking here).

In the contrary case, they must be declared in PP.

Fallow land (arable land) does not have more than one code : “JAC “, in which it will be necessary to make a clarification :
• grass cover – (001) ;
• fallow for melliferous – national list of species for the BCAE8 and the écorégime – (002) ;
other fallow floral/honey bee/bee (within specifications) – (003) ;
• fallow wildlife – species mix or herb or honey (within specifications) – (004) ;
• ratoon crop foam (005).

How should be declared a planting of switchgrass and this covered is it possible fallow ?

If the grass cover is in place for five years or less, it is necessary touse the code culture “other clams temporary of 5 years or less” (PTR).
If the grass cover is in place for the past five years past or more, it is appropriate touse the code culture ” prairie in the rotation long (PRL) “.
This cover can be declared in BOR, BTA, or BFS.
In case pure, a surface in switchgrass may not be declared fallow, because this cover is not party cutlery allowed to fallow.
On the other hand, associated to dother grasses eligible, switchgrass can be part of the composition ofa mixture of fallow.
