Area = the total area reported in 2012 in the Orchard Fruit Survey (Braeburn/Gala:) and in the crop year 2012/2013 (Cox/Bramley:). Total benefits/ha = the total economic benefits of market output per hectare estimated from the open pollination treatment. Total IPB/ha = the total economic benefits of insect pollination services per hectare; the difference between the value per hectare in the open and closed treatments. National Total IPB = the total economic benefits of insect pollination services to the crop across the UK.
