Introduction
This search presents data for 1990 onwards from the programme of pesticide usage surveys commissioned by the independent Advisory Committee on Pesticides. Data is collected by the Pesticide Usage Survey Teams at the Central Science Laboratory and the Scottish Agricultural Science Agency.
Outdoor and Protected Crops
The following options allow you to access data from the surveys of outdoor and protected crops in a number of different formats.
|
Table Format: Results for area treated and amount applied are displayed in tabular format for your chosen criteria, selected from the drop down lists. |
|---|---|
|
Graph Format: Results for either area treated, amount applied or amount applied per hectare are displayed in graphical format for your chosen criteria, selected from the drop down lists. |
|
Number of Times Treated: Firstly, choose the crop group you are interested in from the drop down list. The actives used on that crop group will form the list for the next search page. Now choose the active you are interested in. This will produce a bar chart of the percentage area treated once, twice, three times, four times and more than four times, as a percentage of the area grown. Superimposed on this, is a line graph of the total area treated as a percentage of the area grown. |
Stored Crops
This search includes data for pesticide applications to stored crops but excludes treatments to equipment and the fabric of the store. Results are displayed in graphical format with links to a table of source data.
Note: Data are presented using new crop and chemical groups, therefore figures are not directly comparable to the Pesticide Usage Survey reports.
