PESTICIDE
SURVEY
STATISTICS
2020 REPORT
INTRODUCTION
This publication contains estimates for specific pesticides used in Maryland during calendar year 2020.
Published estimates include the combined pesticide usage of farm operators, certified private pesticide
applicators, and commercially licensed businesses and public agencies.
All data were compiled by the Maryland Field Office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
in cooperation with the Pesticide Regulation Section of the Maryland Department of Agriculture. Staff of the
Pesticide Regulation Section provided technical assistance in survey planning and analysis of final summary
tabulations. Data collection and summarization were completed by NASS, with access to record level data
limited to NASS office personnel. All record-level data collected by NASS are confidential and protected by
Title 7 of the U.S. Code.
Methodology
A survey was conducted in 2021 to estimate the amounts and types of pesticides applied in calendar year 2020
by Maryland farm operators, certified private pesticide applicators, commercially licensed businesses, and
public agencies. The survey consisted of a sample of 1,500 farmers, 2,845 certified private applicators, 1,371
commercially licensed businesses, and 264 public agencies permitted to apply pesticides. Lists of certified
applicators, businesses, and public agencies were provided by the Pesticide Regulation Section of the
Maryland Department of Agriculture. The farm operator sample was selected from a comprehensive list of
farm operators maintained by NASS.
In February 2021, questionnaires were mailed to all sampled operations, businesses, and agencies, with a
reminder postcard mailing and second questionnaire mailing to non-respondents occurring in April
2021. Responses were received from 687 (46%) of the sampled farmers, 808 (28%) certified private
applicators, 188 (14%) commercially licensed businesses, and 58 (22%) public agencies. Response was
voluntary and not required by law.
Data were reviewed for completeness and accuracy and all amounts reported were converted to pounds of
active ingredient. Following questionnaire review, data were keyed and summarized utilizing SAS statistical
software and data analysis was conducted by NASS statisticians. Active ingredients were totaled and
expanded to a State level based solely on the population of each sector, final sample sizes and survey
response. The population assumed to represent total usage of the target populations.
Results
Pesticide active ingredient estimates are published only when there were a sufficient number of reports and/or
amounts applied. Active ingredients reported without sufficient number of reports or amounts less than one
pound is listed on a separate table with a total amount estimated. Published data are listed in descending order
by pounds of active ingredient and in alphabetical order. The top 20 pesticides (in terms of total pounds), the
top 10 pesticides by county, the top 10 pesticides by season, the top 10 pesticides for certain targeted crops,
the top 10 by class (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other) are provided in separate tables. Common
formulation and type for pesticides published comparisons tables are also provided.

Dear Reporter:
I am writing to request your participation in the enclosed Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA)/USDA
National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) - Maryland Field Office 2020 Pesticide Usage Survey. MDA and
NASS have conducted eight similar pesticide surveys between 1985 and 2014. This survey is the only
comprehensive measure of pesticide use in Maryland and helps MDA develop the most appropriate programs for
Maryland farmers and pest control operators.
With your cooperation, this survey will also provide information necessary for rational decisions regarding
pesticide usage, laws and regulations. The survey results provide a reliable, source of public information for all
members of our industry, as well as for industry representatives working with policy makers at the State and
national levels.
Please complete the enclosed survey and the recertification information form and return it to NASS according to
the instruction provided. Pesticides are a major input in the production of agricultural commodities; however, to
keep the costs of using pesticides from exceeding the benefits, knowledge of the extent of their application is of
utmost importance. Eligible applicators that complete the Pesticide Survey will obtain full credit towards their
pesticide applicator certification.
If we do not hear from you by April 19, 2021, we will attempt to contact you to arrange a telephone interview.
Your participation is crucial, and your responses are confidential. We will never share your name or the name
of your operation. The results of this survey will be available in aggregate form only, ensuring that no individual
operation or producer can be identified, as required by federal law.
Thank you for your time and your assistance with this important project. If you have any questions about this
survey, please contact Shareefah Williams at [email protected] or 301-347-8179.
Sincerely,
Joseph Bartenfelder, Secretary

FARMERS: Please complete the following.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a long-standing science-based, decisions making process that identifies and
reduces risks from pests and pest management related strategies. It coordinates the use of pest biology, environmental
information, and available technology to prevent unacceptable levels of pest damage by the most economical means, while
posing the least possible risk to people, property, resources, and the environment. IPM provides an effective strategy for
managing pests in all arenas from developed residential and public areas to wild lands. IPM serves as an umbrella to
provide an effective, all encompassing, low-risk approach to protect resources and people from pests.
Please refer to the definition of Integrated Pest Management (above) when answering questions 6 to 9. Check the
appropriate box for each question.

Maryland Pesticide Regulation Section
The Pesticide Regulation Section administers Maryland's Pesticide Applicator's Law, approves training
courses in the handling, storage and use of pesticides, conducts examinations to determine that pesticide
applicators are competent to follow prescribed pest control practices, enforces federal laws on the sale and
use of pesticides, and investigates pesticide accidents or incidents and consumer complaints on pesticide
misuse. To find out more, call Pesticide Regulation at (410) 841-5710.
WHY SHOULD I RESPOND TO THIS SURVEY?
The Maryland Pesticide Survey has been conducted since 1985, this survey is the only comprehensive
measure of pesticide use in Maryland. The results from the survey helps the Maryland Department of
Agriculture (MDA) develop appropriate programs for Maryland farmers and pest control operators. This
survey also provides information necessary for rational decisions regarding pesticide usage, laws, and
regulations. The survey results provide a reliable, source of public information for all members of our
industry, as well as for industry representatives working with policy makers at the State and national levels.
Eligible applicators that completed the 2020 Pesticide Survey obtained full credit towards their pesticide
applicator certification. Plans are in place to offer this incentive again for the next survey cycle. The National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is committed to preserving the confidentiality of respondent’s
identities by protecting information that could be used to identify individual respondents. The results of this
survey will be available in aggregate form only, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be
identified, as required by federal law. For more information about NASS’s confidentiality Pledge please go to
the following website (USDA - National Agricultural Statistics Service - About NASS - Confidentiality
Pledge).
