Use of chemical pesticides in agriculture; 1995-2004
Description
Figures on the use of chemical pesticides
(plant protection products) in agricultural and horticultural crops. Since 1992,
CBS conducted research into the use of pesticides in
some of the most important arable and horticultural crops. CBS wants
this provides for a proven need. This need exists, among other things,
from those of other public institutions and engineering agencies (to
for example, to calculate environmental indicators).
The table contains figures on the annual use of pesticides
per hectare per crop. Furthermore, the table contains data as total use per
crop, use by sector and use across all sectors. Here are also
the areas and numbers of farms with use given.
The study also collected data on alternatives to
chemical control, such as mechanical weed control and biological
methods of control. These figures can be found in other tables (see
3. Links to relevant tables and articles).
Data available from: 1995.
Status of the figures: final.
Amendments as of 27 May 2010: table stopped.
See paragraph 3 for ongoing table.
