• 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.
  • Cattle and Cattle Facilities - 1999


• 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.
  • Chemical Distribution Rate - 2005


• 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.

• 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.
