Overview
This publication is the eighth Vegetable Summary in the 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). This report contains statistics for on-farm
use of agricultural chemicals and pest management practices from producers of targeted vegetable crops. The
agricultural chemical use estimates in this report focus on the acreage treated with herbicides, insecticides,
fungicides, and other pesticides for selected vegetable crops. Other publications in the series that have statistics
for on-farm agricultural chemical usage have focused on agricultural chemical use for field crops (May 2005)
and nursery applications (September 2004). Chemical use information for vegetables is collected in even
numbered years while fruit are collected in odd numbered years.
Information in this report is provided from a survey funded by the USDA Pesticide Data Program. Delaware
was surveyed for chemical use on lima beans with funding from outside sources. The purpose of the Pesticide
Data Program is to provide reliable pesticide use statistics and to enhance the quality of information on pesticide
residues in food. Multiple agencies within the USDA administer this program. This data series addresses the
increased public interest in agricultural chemical use and provides the means for government agencies to respond
effectively to food safety and water quality issues.
This report includes chemical use information for 23 targeted vegetable crops in 20 States. The States surveyed
were: Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and
Wisconsin. The targeted crops were: asparagus, lima beans, snap beans, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupes, carrots,
cauliflower, celery, sweet corn, cucumbers, garlic, honeydews, lettuce, onions, green peas, bell peppers,
pumpkins, spinach, squash, strawberries, tomatoes, and watermelons. Additional tables containing the 5 most
active ingredients for each commodity have been included in this publication, but only for the commodities
which have at least 5 states in the survey program.
California’s vegetable crop data are centered around their Pesticide Reporting requirements, which screens for
the county agriculture commissioners ID and CAL-EPA site location numbers. Some pesticides are labeled for
control of more than one type of pest, i.e., as an insecticide and as a fungicide. In these instances, the active
ingredient is listed under the pesticide class for which it was predominantly used. This report excludes pesticides
used for seed treatments and postharvest applications to the commodity. Spot treatments, which account for a
very small percentage of total applications, are mentioned only in the “Active Ingredients and Publication
Status” tables.

Agricultural Chemical Rate Per Crop Year - Highlights
This report contains a new set of tables created to provide useful and relevant information on the distribution
of rate data. The following tables show the 10th percentile, median, 90th percentile, mean and coefficient of
variation (cv) distribution of the most commonly used active ingredients for each commodity at the program
state level. The active ingredient needed to have been reported in the Program State on at least 30 reports, in
order to be published in the following tables.
The cv is a relative measure of the variability, expressed as a percentage of the estimate. For a specific
commodity, the states have different agricultural practices which can lead to a wide range of pesticide rate
uses. These ranges can lead to higher cv rates for different active ingredients. Some active ingredients are
only applied in one manner resulting in smaller cv’s, while other active ingredients have more varied
agricultural uses which will have larger cv’s. Please see the Survey and Estimation Procedures and
Reliability sections for more information.

2004 Vegetable Crops Pest Management Practices
Overview: NASS continues to publish data on pest management practices that growers use on vegetable acres
in an effort to enhance and improve the statistics that are available to control pests. Prior to the 2002 crop year,
vegetable crop pest management practices data were collected and published separately from the Vegetable
Chemical Use Survey. The Pest Management Practices 2004 Summary is based on data compiled from
respondents participating in the Vegetable Chemical Use Survey.
For this report, each question has been categorized into one of four pest management categories: prevention,
avoidance, monitoring, and suppression. The actual questions used to collect these data are shown in the survey
instrument. It is important to note that the practice of good pest management techniques is site-specific in
nature, and individual tactics are principally determined by the particular crop/pest/environment scenario. This
series of pest management practices data has been helpful in identifying crops where alternative pest
management practices are needed.
The data are published in two tables: percent of farms receiving the specific pest management practice, and
percent of acres using the specific pest management practice. These percentages are published at the Program
States and State levels. For all the crops in this survey, the percentages refer only to farms and vegetable acres.
Producers were first asked how many total acres of vegetable crops they grew in 2004, followed by questions
regarding the use of specific pest management practices, in a yes/no format. Pests were defined as weeds,
insects, and diseases. If the respondent used a specific practice on any vegetable crop, it was assumed that the
practice was used on all acres of vegetable crops. For example, if a producer had 500 acres of various vegetable
crops, and used field mapping of previous weed problems to assist in making weed management decisions, it
was assumed that all 500 acres were mapped.
Highlights: Field cultivation for weed control was the most commonly reported pest management practice for
prevention, used by 73 percent of the vegetable farms on 82 percent of the acres. The second most common
prevention practice was chopping, mowing/etc. field edges, used by 69 percent of the vegetable farms on 82
percent of the acres. Also, use of tillage/etc. to manage pests ranked second as a prevention practice with 67
percent of the vegetable farms and 83 percent of the acres.
For avoidance practices, rotating crops was used by the majority of farms, 87 percent, on 85 percent of the
acreage. The majority of farms scouted as a monitoring practice. Scouting for weeds occurred on 89 percent of
the farms and 94 percent of the acres. Percentages of scouting for insects and diseases are similar: 92 percent
of the farms and 99 percent of the acres for insects and mites, and 88 percent of the farms and 97 percent of the
acres for diseases.
The most used pest suppression practice was to maintain ground cover or physical barriers with nearly half of
the vegetable farms (46 percent) reporting it on 50 percent of the planted vegetable acres.

Survey Procedures
Large screening samples were drawn from the NASS List Sampling Frame. This extensive sampling frame
covers all types of farms and accounts for about 90 percent of all land in farms in the U.S. The sample design
for the Vegetable Chemical Use Survey (VCUS) uses a Multivariate Probability Proportional to Size (MPPS)
design. The probability of being selected for the sample was based on the percentage of acreage for a given crop
that a grower had on a state’s list frame. The maximum of these probabilities were selected to draw the sample.
The general idea is to assure that the total acreage of all targeted vegetable crops that a grower has on the list
frame was included when determining a grower’s probability of selection.
Estimation Procedures
The chemical applications data, reported by product name, or trade name are reviewed within each State and
across States for reasonableness and consistency. This review compares reported data with manufacturer’s
recommendations and with data from other farm operators using the same product. Following this review,
product information are converted to an active ingredient level. The chemical usage estimates in this publication
consist of survey estimates of those active ingredients.
Estimates of the total amount of active ingredient applied are based on the acreage estimates published in the
annual NASS report “Vegetables - 2004 Summary”[Vg 1-2(04)] released on January 29, 2004. The estimates
for total amount applied will not be revised even if there are subsequent revisions to acreage for a given crop.
Detailed data within a table may not multiply across or add down due to independent rounding of the published
values.
Reliability
The probability nature of the survey provides expansion of data so that the estimates are statistically
representative of chemical use on the targeted crops in the surveyed States. The reliability of these survey results
is affected by non-sampling errors and sampling variability. The sampling variability, expressed as a percentage
of the estimate, is referred to as the coefficient of variation (cv).
Non-sampling errors are errors that occur during a survey process and, unlike sampling variability, are difficult
to measure. They may be caused by interviewers failing to follow instructions, poorly worded questions, nonresponse, problematic survey procedures, or data handling between collection and publication. In these surveys,
all survey procedures and analysis were carried out in a consistent and orderly manner to minimize the
occurrence of these types of errors.
Variability for estimates of acres treated will be higher than the variability for estimates of application rates.
This is because application rates have a narrower range of responses, are recommended by the manufacturer of
the product, and are generally followed. Sampling variability of the estimates differed considerably by chemical
and crop. In general, the more often the chemical was applied, the smaller the sampling variability. For example,
estimates of a commonly used active ingredient such as Glyphosate isopropylamine salt, will exhibit less
variability than a rarely used chemical.
The variability of estimates also depends on such factors such as how similar agricultural practices are across
States or within a State. Some active ingredients have widely varying recommend rates with different
application approaches. This can increase the variability of the rates and acres treated. The differing intensity
of the pest problem can influence the variability of acres treated and rate. The more consistent the intensity of
the pest problem, the more likely the acres treated and rates are to be similar. These are just a few examples
of how the estimates’ variability can be influenced. A commonly used active ingredient is defined as an active
ingredient used on at least 40 percent of the acres planted for a crop at the U.S. level. For these active
ingredients, cv’s will generally be less than 35 percent at the U.S. level and less than 55 percent at the State level.
Active ingredients that are less frequently used have cv’s rates that are generally less than 70 percent.

Terms and Definitions
Active ingredient: The active ingredient is the specific chemical which kills or controls the target pests. Usage
data are reported by pesticide product and are converted to an amount of active ingredient. A single method of
conversion has been chosen for active ingredients having more than one way of being converted. For example
in this report, copper compounds are expressed in their metallic copper equivalent, and others such as 2,4-D and
glyphosate are expressed in their acid equivalent.
Agricultural chemicals: Refers to the active ingredients in fertilizers and pesticides.
Allelopathic: The release of chemical compounds from a plant that will inhibit the growth of another plant, such
as weeds.
Application rates: Refer to the average number of pounds of a fertilizer primary nutrient or pesticide active
ingredient applied to an acre of land. Rate per acre is the average number of pounds applied in one application.
Rate per crop year is the average number of pounds applied counting multiple applications. Number of
applications is the average number of times a treated acre receives a specific agricultural chemical.
Area applied: Represents the percentage of crop acres receiving one or more applications of a specific
agricultural chemical. This report does not contain acre treatments. However, acre treatments can be calculated
by multiplying the acres planted by the percent of area applied and the average number of applications.
Avoidance: May be practiced when pest populations exist in a field or site but the impact of the pest on the crop
can be avoided through some cultural practice. Examples of avoidance tactics include crop rotation such that
the crop of choice is not a host for the pest, choosing cultivars with genetic resistance to pests, using trap crops,
choosing cultivars with maturity dates that may allow harvest before pest populations develop, fertilization
programs to promote rapid crop development, and simply not planting certain areas of fields where pest
populations are likely to cause crop failure. Some tactics for prevention and avoidance strategies may overlap.
The following questions were categorized as avoidance practices:
Were planting or harvesting dates adjusted to manage pests?
Were planting locations planned to avoid infestation of pests?
Was a crop variety chosen because it had resistance to a specific pest?
Was a trap crop grown to help manage insects?
Were row spacing or plant density adjusted to manage pests?
Were any beneficial organisms (insects, nematodes, fungi) applied or released to manage pests?
Were floral lures, attractants, repellants, pheromone traps or other biological pest controls used?

Terms and Definitions (continued)
Beneficial insects: Insects collected and introduced into locations because of their value in biologic control as
prey on harmful insects and parasites.
Chemigation: Application of an agricultural chemical by injecting it into irrigation water.
Common name: An officially recognized name for an active ingredient. This report shows active ingredient
by common name.
Crop year: Refers to the period immediately following harvest for the previous crop through harvest of the
current crop.
Cultivars: A horticulturally or agriculturally derived variety of a plant, as distinguished from a natural variety.
Farm: Any establishment from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or would normally be
sold during the year. Government payments are included in sales. Places with all acreage enrolled in set aside
or other government programs are considered operating.
Fertilizer: Refers to applications of the primary nutrients, nitrogen, phosphate, and potash.
Fungi: A lower form of parasitic plant life which often reduces crop production and/or lowers the grade quality
of its host.
Land in Farms: All land operated as part of a farming operation during the year. It includes crop and livestock
acreage, wasteland, woodland, pasture, land in summer fallow, idle cropland, and land enrolled in the
Conservation Reserve Program and other set-aside, conservation, or commodity acreage programs. It excludes
public, industrial, and grazing association land, and nonagricultural land. It excludes all land operated by
establishments not qualifying as farms.
Mechanism of Action (MOA): The method/biological pathway the pesticide uses to kill the pest.

Terms and Definitions (continued)
Monitoring: Includes proper identification of pests through surveys or scouting programs, including trapping,
weather monitoring, and soil testing where appropriate.
The following pest management practices questions were categorized as monitoring practices:
In 2004, how were your vegetable acres primarily scouted for insects, weeds, diseases and/or beneficial
organisms? (By conducting general observations while performing routine tasks? By deliberately going
to the field specifically for scouting activities? This field was not scouted?)
Was an established scouting process used (systematic sampling, recording counts, etc.) or were insect
traps used in this field on any vegetable crops?
Was scouting for pests done on these vegetable acres due to a pest advisory warning?
Was scouting for pests done on these vegetable acres due to a pest development model?
Were your vegetable acres scouted for weeds? (If so, Who did the majority of the scouting? Operator,
partner or family member, OR An employee, OR Farm supply or chemical dealer, OR Independent crop
consultant or commercial scout?)
Were your vegetable acres scouted for insects? (If so, Who did the majority of the scouting? Operator,
partner or family member, OR An employee, OR Farm supply or chemical dealer, OR Independent crop
consultant or commercial scout?)
Were your vegetable acres scouted for diseases? (If so, Who did the majority of the scouting? Operator,
partner or family member, OR An employee, OR Farm supply or chemical dealer, OR Independent crop
consultant or commercial scout?)
Were written or electronic records kept to track the activity or numbers of weeds, insects or diseases?
Was scouting data compared to published information on infestation thresholds to determine when to
take measures to manage pests?
Was field mapping data used for making weed management decisions?
Were the services of a diagnostic laboratory used for pest identification or soil or plant tissue pest
analysis?
Nematodes: Microscopic, worm-shaped parasitic animals. Damage to many crops can be severe.
Pesticides: As defined by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), pesticides include
any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest, and
any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant.
The four classes of pesticides presented in this report and the pests targeted are: herbicides - weeds, insecticides
- insects, fungicides - fungi, and other chemicals - other forms of life. Miticides and nematicides are included
as insecticides while soil fumigants, growth regulators, defoliants, and desiccants are included as other
chemicals.

Terms and Definitions (continued)
Pheromone: A chemical substance produced by an insect which serves as a stimulus to other individuals of the
same species for one or more behavioral responses.
Prevention: Is the practice of keeping a pest population from infesting a crop or field. It includes such tactics
as using pest-free seeds and transplants, preventing weeds from reproducing, choosing cultivars with genetic
resistance to insects or disease, irrigation scheduling to avoid situations conducive to disease development,
cleaning tillage and harvesting equipment between fields or operations, using field sanitation procedures, and
eliminating alternate hosts or sites for insect pests and disease organisms.
The following questions were categorized as prevention practices:
Was no-till or minimum till used to manage pests?
Were field edges, lanes, ditches, roadways or fence lines chopped, mowed, plowed, or burned to manage
pests?
Were crop residues plowed down or removed to manage pests?
Were any vegetable acres cultivated for weed control during the growing season?
Were equipment and implements cleaned after completing fieldwork to reduce the spread of pests?
Were water management practices (excluding chemigation) such as irrigation scheduling, controlled
drainage, or treatment of retention water used to mange pests?
Suppression: Tactics include cultural practices such as narrow row spacings or optimized in-row plant
populations, alternative tillage approaches such as no-till or strip-till systems, cover crops or mulches, or using
crops with allelopathic potential in the rotation. Physical suppression tactics may include cultivation or mowing
for weed control, baited or pheromone traps for certain insects, and temperature management or exclusion
devices for insect and disease management. Biological controls, including mating disruption for insects, could
be considered as alternatives to conventional pesticides, especially where long-term control of an especially
troublesome pest species can be obtained. Chemical pesticides are important and some use will remain
necessary. However, pesticides should be applied as a last resort in suppression systems.
The following questions were categorized as suppression practices:
Were any biological pesticides such as Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), insect growth regulators, neem or
other natural/biological based products sprayed or applied to manage pests?
Were pesticides with different mechanisms of action rotated or tank mixed for the primary purpose of
keeping pests from becoming resistant to a pesticide?
Was scouting data used to assist in determining the need for or when to make pesticide applications?
Did you maintain ground covers, mulch or physical barriers to reduce pest problems?
Did you use row spacing or make adjustments to plant density to manage insects?
Were any beneficial organisms (insects, nematodes or fungi) applied or released to manage pests?
