Overview
This publication is a summary of pesticide and fertilizer usage on Field Crop and continues the
series of AAgricultural Chemical Usage@ reports issued by the United States Department of
Agriculture=s National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS). This report contains
statistics for on-farm use of commercial fertilizers, agricultural chemicals, and pest management
practices from producers of targeted field and fruit crops for the 2007 crop year. The agricultural
chemical use estimates in this report focus on the acreage treated with herbicides, insecticides,
fungicides, and other pesticides. Chemical application rates listed by active ingredient are also
featured in this publication. Other publications that have statistics for on-farm agricultural
chemical usage have focused on pesticide chemical usage for nursery and floriculture crops
(December 2007) and the restricted chemical usage report (May 2008). More details about these
publications and others may be found on the USDA website at
http://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_Subject /Environmental/index.asp.
Information in this report is collected from a survey compiled from the Agricultural Resources
Management Survey (ARMS). The ARMS survey is conducted in cooperation with the Economic
Research Service (ERS). The information from the ARMS survey enables NASS to publish
chemical use statistics and to provide ERS the ability to conduct economic analyses relating to field
crop chemical usage.
Data collection occurred during the months of October-December of 2007. The targeted crops were
cotton, apples, and organic apples. The States surveyed were: Alabama, Arkansas, California,
Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. An example of the survey
instrument used in data collection is included in the back of this publication
The Active Ingredient and Publication Status tables are provided to show all active ingredients
reported in the Program States. The publication status is determined by confidentiality rules. In
order to publish data for an active ingredient, there must be a minimum of 5 reports for the specific
active ingredient at the summary level (by crop, by State, or all Program States). If there are 5 or
more reports, then the active ingredient data are published and designated as a "P" in the table. In
cases where there are fewer than 5 reports of an active ingredient, an A*@ appears in the table. This
means the active ingredient was reported, but there were an insufficient number of reports to
publish the data. If the publication status is blank, there were no reports for the active ingredient
for that Program State.
Some pesticides are labeled for control of more than one type of pest, i.e., used 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.

Highlights
Cotton: Nitrogen was applied to 92 percent of the 2007 cotton planted acreage in the 11 Program
States: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Cotton growers applied an average of 91 pounds of
nitrogen per acre per crop year. Phosphate was applied to 67 percent of the cotton planted acreage
in the Program States at an average rate of 43 pounds per acre per crop year. Potash, applied at
70 pounds per acre per crop year, was applied to 52 percent of the acreage planted to cotton. Sulfur
was applied to 42 percent of the planted acreage, at an average rate of 13 pounds per acre per crop
year.
Herbicides were applied to 97 percent of the Program States’ cotton planted acreage in 2007.
Glyphosate isopropylamine salt was the most commonly applied herbicide, applied to 85 percent of
the planted acreage at a rate of 1.900 pounds per acre per crop year. The next two most commonly
applied herbicides on a per acre basis were Trifluralin and Diuron, at 29 and 26 percent with
average application rates of 0.921 and 0.499 pounds per acre per crop year, respectively.
Insecticides were applied to 66 percent of the 2007 cotton acreage. Acephate was the most utilized
insecticide with 26 percent of the planted acreage being treated at an average rate of 0.900 pounds
per acre per crop year. Dicrotophos was the second most commonly utilized insecticide, applied to
21 percent of acreage. It was applied at an average rate of 0.565 pounds per acre per crop year.
Fungicides were applied to 1 percent of the planted acres in the Program States. Etridiazole and
PCNB were both applied to 1 percent of the acres planted to cotton. They were applied at an
average rate of 0.146 and 0.635 pounds per acre per crop year, respectively.
Other Chemicals were used to treat 85 percent of the cotton acreage. Ethephon was the most
commonly applied Other Chemical covering 69 percent of the acreage; followed by Thidiazuron,

Distribution Tables – Highlights
The following distribution tables provide details about the distribution of agricultural chemical
active ingredients commonly applied to the selected field. Chemical distribution rates are listed by
active ingredient for the Percent of Acres Treated, Number of Applications, Rate per Application,
and Rate per Crop year. In order for an active ingredient to be published in these tables, at least
30 farm operators reported an application of the active ingredient on the specified crop. The data in
each table are summarized for a specific group of States, called Program States. The Program
States designation is specific for each crop and provided in tables within the publication (See
page 3).
These distribution tables show the 10th percentile, median, 90th percentile, mean, and coefficient of
variation (CV) of the reported rates. The 10th percentile is the value below which 10 percent of all
application rates fall. Thus, only 10 percent of operators reported an application rate for the active
ingredient on the specified crop that was lower than the 10th percentile value. Likewise, the
90th percentile is a value for which 90 percent of all applications were at rates lower than this value.
The median is the midpoint of the distribution with half of the reported application rates higher and
half lower than the median value. The mean is the weighted average calculated by summing the
application rate multiplied by the acres applied and then dividing by the acres applied.
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 usage rates. These ranges can lead to higher CV rates for different active ingredients.
Some active ingredients are only applied in one manner resulting in smaller CVs, while other active
ingredients have more varied agricultural uses which will have larger CVs. Please see the Survey
and Estimation Procedures and Reliability sections for more information.
The Number of Applications, Rate per Application, and Rate per Crop Year distribution tables are
calculated using data only from reports where the farm operator applied the active ingredient. Data
presented in the Percent of Acres Treated table account for all operations in the sample producing
the target commodity, whether or not the listed active ingredient was applied.

Integrated Pest Management Practices - Highlights
Overview: The following tables present data on pest management practices that growers use on
field and fruit crop acres to control pests. Each question has been placed into one of four pest
management categories: Prevention, Avoidance, Monitoring, or Suppression. The actual questions
used to collect these data are shown in the survey instrument on page 121. It is important to note
that the practice of good pest management is site-specific in nature, and individual tactics are
principally determined by the particular crop/pest/environment scenario.
The data are published in two tables: Percent of Farms Utilizing Practice, and Percent of Acres
Utilizing Practice. These percentages are published at the Program State and State levels. For all
the crops in this survey, the percentages refer only to farms and acres.
Producers were first asked how many total acres of crops they grew in 2007, followed by questions
regarding the use of specific pest management practices, in a yes/no format. Pests were defined as
weeds, insects, or diseases. If the respondent used a specific practice on any crop, it was assumed
that the practice was used on all of the crop acres. For example, if a producer had 100 acres of
various apple crops, and used field mapping of previous weed problems to assist in making weed
management decisions, it was assumed that all 100 acres were mapped.
Cotton: Applying herbicides after weeds emerged was the most commonly reported pest
management practice for prevention, used by 90 percent of the cotton farms, on 88 percent of the
acres. The next most commonly used prevention practices were; applying insecticides to the cotton
field and applying herbicides before weeds emerged, used by 75 and 68 percent of the cotton farms,
on 65 and 73 percent of the acres, respectively.
For avoidance practices, choosing a crop variety for pest resistance was used by the majority of
cotton farms, 59 percent, on 58 percent of the acreage. The second most commonly utilized
avoidance practice was rotating crops to control pest, used by 44 percent of cotton farmers on

Survey & Estimation Procedures
Survey Procedures: There were 4,566 samples drawn from the NASS List Sampling Frame for
cotton and apples. This extensive sampling frame covers all types of farms and accounts for about
90 percent of all land in farms in the United States. The cotton sample was selected from a list of
operators identified as current cotton producers. Samples were selected from States with the largest
production for the selected crops. The apple samples were selected from list frame control data. The
organic apple sample was drawn from a listing of organic apple growers provided by the Economic
Research Service (ERS).
Data collection for the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) survey occurred during
the months of October through December 2007. 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 was selected to draw the sample. The general idea is to assure
that the total acreage of the targeted commodity that a grower has on the list frame was included
when determining a grower’s probability of selection. The operator of the sampled farm was
personally interviewed to obtain information on chemical applications made to each sampled farm.
Estimation Procedures: The chemical application 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. Detailed data within a table may not multiply across or add down due
to independent rounding of the published values.
Estimates of the total amount of active ingredient applied to cotton are based on the acreage
estimates published in the annual NASS report “Crop Production - 2007 Summary” [Cr Pr 21(08)] released January 12, 2008. Please note that the estimates for total amounts of an active
ingredient will not be revised even if there are subsequent revisions to acreage of the cotton crop.
Estimates of the total amount of active ingredient applied to apples are based on the acreage
estimates published in the annual NASS report “Noncitrus Fruit and Nuts – 2007 Preliminary
Summary” [Fr Nt 1-3(08)] released on January 23, 2008. Apple estimates were based upon
operations with bearing apple acreage only.
Estimates of the total amount of active ingredient applied to organic apples were based on the
Economic Research Service (ERS) estimate of organic apple acres in the Program States.
Information from other USDA-accredited State and private organic certifiers were also used as
check data when estimating the number of organic apple acres at the Program State level.

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 Program States. The reliability of these
survey results is affected by sampling variability and non-sampling errors.
Since all operations producing the crops of interest are not included in the sample, survey estimates
are subject to sampling variability. The sampling variability expressed as a percent of the estimate
is called the coefficient of variation (CV). Sampling variability of the estimates differed
considerably by chemical and crop. Variability for estimates of percent 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, which are recommended by the manufacturer of the product, and are
generally followed. 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. 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 Program State level. For these active ingredients, CVs range from 2 percent to
30 percent at the Program State level and 3 percent to 63 percent at the individual state level.
Active ingredients that are less frequently used have CVs that range from 1 percent to 80 percent.
The variability of estimates also depends on factors such as how similar agricultural practices are
across States or within a State. Some active ingredients have widely varying recommended 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.
Non-sampling errors can occur in complete censuses as well as sample surveys. They are caused
by the inability to obtain correct information from each person surveyed, differences in interpreting
questions or definitions, and mistakes in coding or processing the data. Special efforts are taken at
each step of the survey to minimize non-sampling errors.

Terms and Definitions
Active ingredient: The specific chemical which kills or controls the target pest(s). 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 salt or acid equivalent form.
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 application is the average number of
pounds applied per acre in one application. Rate per crop year is the average number of pounds
applied per acre counting multiple applications. Number of applications is the average number of
times a treated acre received a specific primary nutrient or active ingredient.
Area applied: Represents the percentage of crop acres receiving one or more applications of a
specific primary nutrient or active ingredient.
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 avoidance and prevention strategies may overlap.
The following pest management questions were categorized as avoidance practices:
Did you adjust planting or harvesting dates for specific purpose of managing or reducing the
spread of pests in this block or field?
Did you rotate crops in this field during the past 3 years for the specific purpose of
managing or reducing the spread of pests in this field?
Did you plan planting locations to avoid cross infestation of pests for the specific purpose of
managing or reducing the spread of pests in this field?
Did you choose crop variety because of specific resistance to certain pests for the specific
purpose of managing or reducing the spread of pests in this block or field?
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: The period immediately following harvest of the previous crop through harvest of the
current crop.

Did you use field mapping of previous weed problems to assist you in making weed
management decisions for the specific purpose of managing or reducing the spread of pests
in this field /block?
Were the services of a diagnostic laboratory used for pest identification or soil or plant
tissue pest analysis?
Was weather data used to assist in determining either the need or when to make pesticide
applications?
Were floral lures, attractants, repellants, pheromone traps, or other biological pest controls
used on this block or field?
Nematodes: Microscopic, worm-shaped parasitic animals.
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.
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: The practice of keeping a pest population from infesting a crop or field. It includes
such tactics as using pest-free seeds and transplants, alternative tillage approaches such as no-till or
minimum till, choosing cultivars with genetic resistance to insects or disease, irrigation scheduling
to avoid situations conducive to disease development, cleaning equipment and implements after
completing field work, using field sanitation procedures, and eliminating alternate hosts or sites for
insect pests and disease organisms.
The following pest management questions were categorized as prevention practices:
Was no-till or minimum till used to manage pests?
Did you remove crop residue, leaf litter, or remove prunings for the specific purpose of
managing or reducing the spread of pests in this field or block?
Did you clean equipment and field implements after completing field or block work to
reduce the spread of pests?

using 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 pesticides and controls, including mating disruption for insects, can be
considered as alternatives to conventional pesticides. Determining pest thresholds and alternating
pesticide active ingredients to avoid resistance buildup are suppression methods which minimize
pesticide use.
