HDR1012000170160517961500AGRICULTURAL CHEMICAL USAGE Overview This report for 1995 continues the series of annual Field Crops Summaries issued by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) containing on-farm agricultural chemical use statistics. The data presented in this report are part of the data series on chemical use funded through the Water Quality Initiative. The Water Quality Initiative is a multi-agency program designed to provide information for farmers, ranchers, and foresters to address on-farm and off-farm environmental issues. In the past, there has been an inadequate amount of farm level data to determine the magnitude of water quality problems or to permit an assessment of alternatives for farmers and other affected parties. This report and other agricultural chemical reports help fill the needs of analysts evaluating the complex environmental issues of the 1990's. NASS is responsible for collecting on-farm agricultural chemical use information to support the evaluation of water quality and food safety issues. The Economic Research Service (ERS) conducts research on the impact of alternative pesticide regulations, policies, and practices. Included in this report is farm use of fertilizers and pesticides during 1995 on corn, cotton, potatoes, soybeans, and wheat. The use of trade names in this publication is for information only and should not be construed as a recommendation by NASS. The table below shows survey coverage for 1994 and 1995 by crop. In it are the number of States surveyed, the number of reports summarized, and the percent of the U.S. crop acres accounted for in the surveyed States.

Chemical use data were collected on winter wheat beginning in late May, 1995, while data collection for the other crops began in late July 1995. Generally data were obtained late in the growing season or after the farm operator indicated planned applications were completed. A random sample of fields was selected for each crop so that the probability of selecting a particular field was directly proportional to the total acres planted to that crop. Thus, each acre planted to a crop had exactly the same chance of selection. For winter wheat, the selection was based on acres standing for harvest rather than acres planted. Sample fields were selected using information obtained through two surveys of farm operators conducted earlier in the year. The survey of winter wheat acreage was conducted in March. For other crops, farm operators within small areas of land, called segments, were surveyed throughout the country in June to determine crops planted. This segment information served as the basis for sample field selection. Operators of the sample fields were personally interviewed to obtain information on chemical applications made to those selected fields. The survey instrument obtained chemical application data by product name or trade name. A thorough review compared reported data with manufacturer's label recommendations and with data from other farm operators using the same product. Following this review, product information was converted to an active ingredient level. The chemical usage estimates in this publication consist of survey estimates of those active ingredients. Notes The following comments and points should be taken into account when analyzing the data from the tables included in this report. Acres applied refers to acres receiving one or more applications of a specific agricultural chemical. Estimates of the total amount of active ingredient applied are based on the acreage estimates published in the NASS report "Crop Production - 1995 Summary". The estimates for amount applied will not be revised even if there are subsequent revisions to the acreage planted to a given crop. Detailed data may not multiply across or add down due to independent rounding. Highlights Corn producers in the surveyed States applied nitrogen fertilizer to 97 percent of the acreage planted while phosphate and potash were put on 81 and 70 percent of the acreage. Herbicides were applied to 96 percent of the crop acres and insecticides were used on 27 percent of the acreage. Atrazine was the most used herbicide with 65 percent of the reported acreage being treated. Cotton growers in the six major States surveyed applied nitrogen to 87 percent of the 1995 acreage planted. Phosphate went on 56 percent of the upland cotton while 40 percent of the major States acreage received potash. Pesticide usage was widespread in the six States. Herbicides were used on 97 percent of the cotton and insecticides on 75 percent. Also, 56 percent of the acreage was treated with other chemicals. The 1995 fall planted potato crop in the 11 States surveyed, received at least one application of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers on nearly all the acreage. Potash was applied to 89 percent of the fall crop. Herbicides were used on 87 percent of the 11 State acreage while insecticides were applied to 88 percent. Fungicides went on 85 percent of the acres. Other chemicals used varied widely with Diquat being the most commonly used active ingredient. Soybean growers in the fourteen major producing States surveyed used nitrogen fertilizer on 17 percent of the acreage, phosphate on 22 percent and potash on 25 percent of the acreage planted. Herbicides were applied to 98 percent of the acreage. Insecticide and fungicide usage was minimal in the surveyed States. Winter Wheat producers applied nitrogen fertilizer to 86 percent of the winter wheat harvested acres in the 13 surveyed States. Of the harvested area, 54 percent received phosphate fertilizer and potash was used on 16 percent of the 13 State area. All surveyed States treated at least a portion of the harvested area with herbicides and 2,4-D again was the most widely used in area applied and quantity. Other Spring Wheat fertilizer applications in the four surveyed States averaged 87, 78, and 23 percent of the acreage for nitrogen,, phosphate, and potash respectively. Herbicides were widely used in all States, with 2,4-D and MCPA most prevalent. Insecticide and fungicide use was limited. Corn Nitrogen was applied to 97 percent of the total 1995 corn acreage in the 17 States surveyed. All of the major producing States had at least 90 percent of their acreage treated with nitrogen. Delaware and South Dakota growers treated only 90 percent of the planted corn acreage, while Georgia and Ohio growers reported 100 of the acreage treated. Growers used an average of 1.7 applications per acre applying 74 pounds per treatment. In the States surveyed 81 percent of the planted corn acreage received phosphates and potash was applied to 70 percent of the acreage. Herbicides were applied to 96 percent of the corn acreage in 1995, while insecticides were used on 27 percent of the acreage. Atrazine was the most used herbicide with 65 percent of the reported acreage being treated. Atrazine was applied at the rate of .98 pound per acre. Metolachlor and dicamba were the next two most widely used herbicides and they were applied to 29 and 27 percent of the reported acreage, respectively. Acetochlor usage has increased substantially since being approved by EPA, going from 7 percent coverage in 1994 to 20 percent this year in the 10 comparable States. During this same period Alachlor usage is down from 17 to 8 percent of the planted acres in the 10 States. Chlorpyrifos and terbufos were the most widely used insecticides and they were applied to seven and six percent of the reported acreage, respectively. The following U.S. map shows the number of usable reports by State in the 1995 survey. These 17 States accounted for 64.1 million acres and 90.0 percent of the total corn acreage in 1995. The accompanying bar chart shows the 5 selected active ingredients applied in 1995 with comparisons for the previous two years.

In the six States surveyed, Arkansas showed a 4 percent increase, California was up 3 percent, and Texas showed a 1 percent increase from the previous year. Both Arizona and Louisiana applied nitrogen to 4 percent less acreage and Mississippi was unchanged from 1994 at 100 percent. The area treated with phosphate increased 2 percent from one year earlier, to 56 percent; Arkansas and Texas continued as the most widespread users of phosphate. Only Arizona and Mississippi treated a smaller percentage of acreage compared to 1994. Arizona treated 34 percent of the Upland cotton acreage, down 11 points from the previous crop year, and Mississippi treated 5 percent fewer acres, at 40 percent. The largest increase occurred in California with a 5 point increase from the previous year, at 40 percent. Arkansas continued to treat the highest percent of acreage, and applied phosphate to 74 percent of the area, up 4 points from a year earlier. Area receiving potash applications increased by 3 percent from 1994 to 40 percent of the area planted to Upland cotton. The Delta States continued as the largest users of potash, and Arkansas continued to treat the largest percentage of acreage, at 85 percent, 4 points above 1994. The largest increase occurred in Louisiana where producers applied potash to 48 percent, a gain of 8 points from last year. Texas treated 32 percent of the area, 7 percent above one year earlier. Mississippi growers treated 6 percent less acreage and California showed a 3 point decrease. Herbicides were applied to 97 percent of the Upland cotton acreage in 1995, up 3 percent from 1994. Arizona and Louisiana showed increases of 14 percent and 11 percent respectively from 1994's use level. Insecticide applications covered three-fourths of the acreage, a 4 percent increase from the previous year. Arizona treated 14 percent more acreage than in 1994, and Texas' use was up 11 percent. The Delta States treated a smaller percentage of the acres from one year earlier. Arkansas showed a decrease of 10 percent, and Mississippi producers treated 7 percent fewer acres. Area treated with other chemicals totaled 56 percent, down 10 points from the previous year.

Fall Season Potatoes Nitrogen fertilizer was applied to virtually all of the potato acres in the surveyed States. The number of applications averaged 3.5 times across the field with a total of 251 million pounds applied. Per acre rates totaled 221 pounds per year for the 11 States. Phosphate was applied to 98 percent of the acres in the surveyed States. A total of 193 million pounds were applied in those 11 major fall producing States. The number of applications averaged 1.7 times per year for a total of 171 pounds per acre. Potash applications were applied to 89 percent of the land. The percent of acres treated varied most for this fertilizer. The range of coverage extended from 100 percent in Michigan, New York, and Wisconsin to a low of 84 percent in Idaho. About 174 million pounds were applied in total. About 170 pounds per acre were applied over an average of 1.6 trips. Herbicides were applied to 87 percent of the potato acreage in 1995. Coverage ranged from lows of 60 percent in North Dakota and 66, 58 percent in Minnesota to over 90 percent of the crop receiving herbicides in Idaho, Maine, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. Metribuzin was the most widely applied active ingredient and was used on 67 percent of the total acreage. EPTC was second but was applied to only 32 percent of the acres. Insecticides were applied to 88 percent of the fall acreage. Three States, Maine, Michigan, and North Dakota treated all their potato acreage. Three other States Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin applied insecticides to 95 percent or more of their crop. The lowest usage occurred in Colorado where only 65 percent of the potato acres received any insecticides. The two most common active ingredients used were Carbofuran and Methamidophos which were applied to 24 and 23 percent of the potato land, respectively. Fungicide treatments were applied to 85 percent of the fall potato crop. Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin treated all their acreage. Idaho used fungicides the least, applying them to 63 percent of the potatoes. Chlorothalonil was used the most as it was applied on 65 percent of the land followed by Mancozeb on 45 percent of the crop. Other chemical (primarily desiccants) usage varied widely. Diquat was the most commonly used active ingredient - applied to 33 percent of the 11 state acreage. It was used on 89 percent of the Maine and 80 percent of the Wisconsin potato crop. The U.S. map that follows shows the number of usable reports, by State in the 1995 survey. These 11 States accounted for 1.15 million acres of fall potatoes and 94 percent of the total fall acres planted in the U.S. in 1995. The accompanying bar chart shows the top 5 active ingredients applied in 1995 with comparisons for the previous two years.

Soybeans In the fourteen soybean States surveyed, nitrogen fertilizer was applied to 17 percent of the area planted to soybeans. The acres treated in Louisiana were only 5 percent of the total, while Georgia growers applied nitrogen on 61 percent of the planted acres. The average number of nitrogen applications per acre was 1.1 and the average rate was 32 pounds per acre. Phosphate was applied on 22 percent of the soybean planted acreage in the surveyed States. Georgia producers applied phosphate to 67 percent of the soybean acreage, while Iowa applications covered only 11 percent of the planted acreage. Potash was applied to 25 percent of the planted soybean acreage. In the fourteen States surveyed, an average of 97 percent of the soybean acreage was treated with herbicides. Imazethapyr was applied to 44 percent of the acreage, with pendimethalin and glyphosate applied to 26 and 20 percent of the acreage respectively. Although growers in nine of the fourteen States surveyed reported applications of insecticides there were too few reports to publish individual State data except for Georgia, Louisiana, and North Carolina. Growers in only two out of the fourteen States reported fungicide applications. The U.S. map shows the number of usable reports by States included in the 1995 survey. The surveyed States represent 51.8 million acres of soybeans which is 83 percent of the soybeans planted in the U.S. in 1995. The bar chart shows the top 5 active ingredients used in 1995 compared with the previous two years.

Winter Wheat Phosphate fertilizer was applied to 54 percent of the winter wheat harvested area in the 13 surveyed States. Usage ranged from Oregon's 17 percent to 93 percent in Ohio. Growers once again treated 86 percent of the collective area with nitrogen fertilizer. Area applied exceeded 70 percent in all States except Colorado and South Dakota. Potash treatment was highest in the Soft Red Winter States once again. All 13 States treated a portion of the harvested areas with herbicides. 2,4-D was, by far, the leader in quantity applied and was applied to 26 percent of the area surveyed. The surveyed States represented 34.3 million acres in 1995, 84 percent of the U.S. winter wheat. Durum Wheat Growers in North Dakota applied primary fertilizer to higher percentage of the acres than in 1994, with percentage receiving nitrogen higher than for other spring wheat. The States planted acres of 2.95 million was 86 percent of the U.S. total. Other Spring Wheat Primary fertilizer area application percentages in the 4 States for 1995 were about the same as in 1994. Herbicides were widely used in all States with 2,4-D, MCPA, and Dicamba, is order, most preferred. The 4 survey States totaled 15.8 million planted acres in 1995, this was 93 percent of the total U.S. planted acreage. The U.S. map that follows shows the number of usable reports for winter wheat, durum wheat, and other spring wheat and the States included in the 1995 survey. The winter wheat producing States represent 34.3 million acres or 84 percent of the total winter wheat harvested in the U.S. North Dakota was the only durum wheat State included in the survey and represents 2.95 million acres or 86 percent of total planted acres. The other spring wheat States represent 15.8 Million acres or 93 percent of the total planted acres. The bar charts show the top 5 active ingredients applied in 1995 with comparisons to the previous two years.

Reliability Statement 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. A complete census may have yielded different results. The reliability of these survey results are affected by sampling variability and non-sampling errors. The variability due to sampling was computed for all the chemical and acreage variables in the survey, and is expressed as a percentage. To interpret its meaning, imagine that the survey is repeated many times using the same sample size. For every two out of three times the survey is repeated, the results would not differ from those published here by more than the stated sampling variability. 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. The following table show the range of sampling variability for percent of acres treated and for application rate. The variability ranges in the table can be used to calculate approximate confidence bands for values in the data tables of the report. For example, if a table value in the report is 30 percent of acres treated by a fertilizer, the confidence band for percent of acres treated for a State with a small sample size would be 30 - (.20*30) to 30 + (.20*30) or 24.0 to 36.0 percent. For a State with a large sample size, the confidence band would be 30 - (.05*30) to 30 + (.05*30) or 28.5 to 31.5 percent.

Fertilizer in this report refers to applications of the primary nutrients, nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. 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. Pests targeted by pesticides includes weeds, insects, fungi, and other forms of life. Herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and other chemicals make up the four classes of pesticides presented in this report. Miticides and nematicides are included as insecticides while soil fumigants, growth regulators, defoliants, and desiccants are included as other chemicals. This report excludes pesticides used for seed treatments, spot treatments, and post-harvest applications to the commodity. Active ingredient is the specific chemical which kills or controls the target pests. Usage data, that are reported by pesticide product, are converted to an amount of active ingredient. Some active ingredients have 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 glyphosate and 2,4-D in their acid equivalent. Trade name is the actual product name given to a specific formulation of a pesticide product. A formulation contains a specific concentration of the active ingredient, carrier materials, and other ingredients such as emulsifiers and wetting agents. Some formulations as in the case of pre-mixes, can contain more than one active ingredient. Common name is the published name for an active ingredient. Rate per application refers to the average number of pounds of a fertilizer primary nutrient or pesticide active ingredient applied to an acre of land in one application. Rate per crop year is the average number of pounds of an ingredient applied to one acre of land 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 ingredient. This report does not contain acre treatments. However, acre treatments can be calculated by multiplying the acres planted, the percent of area applied, and the average number of applications. Crop year refers to the period immediately following harvest for the previous crop through harvest of the current crop. Trade Names, Common Names, and Classes The following is a list of common name, associated class and trade name of active ingredients in this publication. The classes are herbicides (H), insecticides (I), fungicides (F), and other chemicals (O). This list is provided as an aid in reviewing pesticide data. Pre-mixes are not cataloged. The list is not complete for all pesticides used on field crops and NASS does not mean to imply the use of any specific trade name.
