Plant protection products; marketing of active substance, application groups
Description
This table contains figures on the marketing (placing on the market) of plant protection products by the agrochemical industry in the Netherlands.
These resources are sold to and used by business sectors such as arable farming, horticulture and industry, local authorities and government departments.
Plant protection products shall be used to prevent or control bothersome diseases, pests or weeds in crops and shall be expressed in terms of the weight of active substance present in the products.
The amount of active substance (the substance that effectively controls disease and pests) has been calculated as a percentage (content) of the plant protection product as a whole, the commercial product.
The figures are broken down into six application groups: control of fungi and bacteria (F), control of weeds and deciduous killing (H), control of insects and mites (I), control of snails (M), plant growth regulation and germination (PGR) and a category of other plant protection products (ZR). The six application groups or main groups of resources are divided into 31 product groups. Each active substance is allocated to one of these application groups.
Data available from: 2010
Status of figures:
Figures up to 2021 are final, figures for 2022 are provisional.
Changes as of 28 March 2024:
Provisional figures for 2022 have been added.
Changes as of 28 February 2023:
Final figures for 2021 have been added.
The years 2020 and 2019 have been corrected by the data provider. In 2020, sales will increase at Total due to an increase at Other Fungal Fighters (F99), Other Weed Fighters (H99) and Other Insect Fighters (I99) and a decrease at Vegetable Oils (ZR02). In 2019, sales will decrease at Total due to a decrease in Insect Control Agents of microbiological or biological origin (I05).
Changes as of 30 August 2022:
In quality control, the index figure was found to be incorrectly displayed due to a technical error, if it is greater than 999.
This is the case with I05 2015 and ZR99 2018-2020. That's been fixed.
Changes as of 12 April 2022:
Modified marketing data were received for 4 substances. This works through to total 2010-2020, application group F and H 2010-2020 and product group F99 and H99 2010-2020. Application group PGR will only change in 2019. Products group PGR01 will only change in 2019 and Products group H04 will only change in 2020.
Amendment as of 31 March 2022:
The underlying encodings of the classifications used in this table (Application Groups) have been adjusted.
These are now in line with the standard codes laid down by Statistics Netherlands.
The structure and data of the table have not been adjusted.
Changes as at 31 January 2022:
Provisional figures for 2020 have been added.
Changes as of 28 May 2021:
International codes have been added to the names of substance groups for a clearer distinction.
Changes as of 5 March 2021:
- Final figures for 2019 have been added.
In order to better align with the current authorisation and registration, the figures for 2010-2018 for mineral oil have been improved to paraffin oil. As a result, there is a reduction in sales of other plant protection products, while there is a significant increase in insect control (classification as paraffin oil).
- To make it easier to compare the figures at national level, the figures for 2010-2018 have now been adjusted to include sales of microbiological substances. This gives (limited) increases in Fungal Control and Insect Control.
- Index 2010-2018 has been corrected to zero (blank) for product groups where there is no authorisation in 2011.
When will there be new figures?
Preliminary figures for 2022 by main resource group (application group) and by resource group (product group) will become available in January 2024.
