Chemical Usage Reports
Courtesy of the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, the documents below contain data related to chemical
usage in the following agricultural industries:
-
Cattle and Cattle Facilities
This report provides insecticide use information on the dairy cattle sector of agriculture. All data refer to the
on-farm use of active ingredients contained in insecticides applied during the 1999 calendar year. Insecticides are
applied to dairy cattle and dairy cattle facilities to control mange/mites, lice, flies, and other pests.
-
Chemical Distribution Rate
This publication provides details about the distribution of agricultural chemical active ingredients commonly applied to
selected field and vegetable crops. It presents data on acreage treated with herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and
other pesticides.
-
Dairy Cattle and Dairy Facilities
These reports provide insecticide use information on the dairy cattle sector of agriculture. All data refer to the on-farm
use of active ingredients contained in insecticides applied during the 2001 calendar year. Insecticides are applied to
dairy cattle and dairy cattle facilities to control mange/mites, lice, flies, and other pests.
-
Field Crops
These full-text reports present chemical application rates and acres treated by major producing states and U.S. for
field crops annually (corn, soybeans, cotton, potatoes, wheat).
-
Fruits
Fruit Summary in the series of "Agricultural Chemical Usage" reports issued by the Environmental,Economics, and
Demographics Branch of the National Agricultural StatisticsService (NASS). These reports contain statistics for
on-farm use of agricultural chemicals and pest management practices from producers of targeted fruit crops.
-
Fruit and Vegetable Agricultural Practices
This report contains the results of a survey of growers and packers on information pertaining to: fieldenvironment,
agricultural water, organic fertilizers, harvest-fieldoperations, harvest workers, and trace back systems, surveyed for
information pertaining to packing workers, field packing, facility packing, and trace back systems.
-
Livestock and General Farm Use
This report is a chemical use survey issued by the National Agricultural Statistics Service on livestock.
-
Nursery & Floriculture
These reports are chemical use survies issued by the National Agricultural Statistics Service on nursery and floriculture crops.
-
Pest Management Practices
These reports are chemical use survies issued by the National Agricultural Statistics Service on nursery and floriculture crops.
-
Postharvest
The agricultural chemical use estimates in these reports are based on data compiled from the 2006 Oats Postharvest Chemical Use Survey. The Postharvest Survey was conducted for oats marketed from August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006 which covers the 2005 crop. All results refer to pesticide applications and integrated pest management at off-farm storage and processing facilities after the oats were harvested. On-farm postharvest applications were beyond the scope of this survey.
The agricultural chemical use estimates in these report are based on data compiled from the 2006 Potato Postharvest Chemical Use Survey. The Postharvest Survey was conducted for potatoes marketed from August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006 which covers the 2005 crop. All results refer to pesticide applications and integrated pest management at off-farm warehouses, shippers, and processors and farms with storage facilities.
-
Restricted Use
The agricultural chemical use estimates in these report are based on data compiled from the Agricultural Resource Management Survey, Conservation Effects Assessment Project, and the Vegetable Chemical Use Survey.
-
Swine and Swine Facilities
These reports provide insecticide use information on the swine sector of agriculture. All data refers to the on-farm use of active ingredients contained in insecticides applied during the 2005 calendar year. Insecticides are applied to swine and swine facilities to control mange/mites, lice, flies, and other pests.
-
Vegetables
These reports are a series of "Agricultural Chemical Usage" reports issued by the Environmental, Economics, and Demographics Branch of the United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS).
