Pesticide Use and Associated Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Sugar Beet, Apples, and Viticulture in Austria from 2000 to 2019

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper is nice and well written. I would just suggest adding a comparison with the cereals, for example, corn, wheat, or rice for a better comparison of greenhouse gases. Also, a comparison with other greenhouse gases from literature would improve the paper.

We are glad that you find our ms interesting and thank you for your comments.

In the revision of the discussion we have included a statement where we respond to your comment regarding the comparison with corn and wheat (L704-L708). In the original version, we already address other greenhouse gases; unfortunately, the lack of relevant data allows us to go into more detail.
