Equation of the Risk Indicator in Section “Materials and methods”, Sub-section “Indicators of viability”, second paragraph (in the list of equations) was erroneously given as:

Risk indicator = (Operation costs * shock)/cultivated area

The correct equation is:

Risk indicator = (Operation costs * shock)2/cultivated area

Equation of the Risk Indicator in Section “Materials and methods”, Sub-section “Indicators of viability”, sixth paragraph was erroneously given as:

(Estimated ProfitRevenue)+1=Profit equilibrium factor 

The correct equation is:

(-Estimated ProfitRevenue)+1=Profit equilibrium factor 

In the acknowledgments, no Acknowledgments section was made. The authors would like to add the following acknowledgment: “The authors warmly thank Monica Rothwell for her generous help and support in the preparation of this manuscript.”
