Erreichen die Schäden (an noch nicht erntefähigen Bodenerzeugnissen) ein solches Ausmaß, dass ohne Umbruch und ohne neuerlichen Anbau ein entsprechender Ernteertrag nicht mehr zu erwarten ist, so sind die Kosten der für den Anbau erforderlichen Arbeit und das hiefür aufzuwendende Saatgut sowie der sich allfällig ergebende Minderertrag des zweiten Anbaus zu ersetzen.
