Estimated "ESR" and "anticipation time" scores attributed to the IPM taxonomy layers

Following the harmonised completed taxonomy of IPM practices, we carried out a mapping of practices which included a range of tactical short term to strategic long term practices. The ESR-framework has been utilised in the last three decades to describe the transitioning of farming operations from conventional to sustainable arable practices (Hill and MacRae, 1996). A survey was carried out in order to classify each practice into the three categories: Efficiency, Substitution and (System) Redesign according to five scores. As a complement to the ESR-scores, we added the variable “Time of anticipation” which refers to the anticipated time lag between the introduction of a practice to the point when noticeable results are observed, such as lower pest levels and improved crop performance. This table is the compilation of these two scores and their variability attributed to each of the IPM taxonomy layers.
