Ag Ch 1 (97) Agricultural Chemical Usage 1996 Field Crops Summary 1996 Agricultural Chemical Use Estimates for Field Crops Overview: The agricultural chemical use estimates in this report are based on data compiled from the Agricultural Resources Management Survey conducted during the fall 1996. All results refer to on-farm use of fertilizers and pesticides on the targeted crops for the 1996 crop year. Targeted crops include corn, upland cotton, fall potatoes, soybeans, flue-cured tobacco, and winter, durum, and other spring wheat. Data were collected late in the growing season or after the farm operator has indicated that planned applications were completed. The table below shows survey coverage for 1995 and 1996 by crop. In the table are statistics on 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.

Herbicides were applied to 97 percent of the crop acres and insecticides were used on 32 percent of the acreage. Atrazine was the most common herbicide with 71 percent of the reported acreage being treated. Cotton growers in the eight major States surveyed applied nitrogen to 77 percent of the 1996 acreage planted. Phosphate went on 55 percent of the upland cotton while 43 percent of the major States acreage received potash. Pesticide usage was widespread in the eight States. Herbicides were used on 92 percent of the cotton and insecticides on 79 percent. Also, 60 percent of the acreage was treated with other chemicals. The 1996 fall planted potato crop, in three major States and the Red River Valley received at least one application of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers on nearly all the acreage. Potash was applied to 90 percent of the fall crop. Herbicides were used on 87 percent of the acreage while insecticides were applied to 83 percent. Fungicides went on 89 percent of the acres. Other chemicals used varied widely with diquat being the most commonly used active ingredient of that class. Soybean growers in the eleven major producing States surveyed used nitrogen fertilizer on 15 percent of the acreage, phosphate on 25 percent and potash on 27 percent of the acreage planted. Herbicides were applied to 97 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 ten surveyed States. Of the harvested area, 51 percent received phosphate fertilizer and potash was used on 6 percent of the ten 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. Most of the planted acres of North Dakota's durum and the collective 3-state other spring wheat plantings had primary fertilizer percent coverages similar to that of 1995. The three most popular herbicides in terms of all spring wheat area covered were 2,4-D, MCPA, and dicamba, in that order. Flue-cured tobacco growers applied nitrogen to 99 percent of the harvested acres in the four states surveyed. The percent of harvested acreage treated with phosphate and potash ranged from 97 to 100 percent. Herbicides were applied to 75 percent of the acreage. Producers applied insecticides to 90 percent of the flue-cured tobacco acreage. Corn Nitrogen was applied to 98 percent of the total 1996 corn acreage in the 16 States surveyed. South Dakota with 88 percent of the corn acreage treated was the lowest. The next lowest was Wisconsin, where growers treated 94 percent of the planted corn acreage. Growers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and South Carolina reported 100 percent of the acreage treated. Growers used an average of 1.8 applications per acre applying 75 pounds per treatment. In the States surveyed 85 percent of the planted corn acreage received phosphates and potash was applied to 73 percent of the acreage. Herbicides were applied to 97 percent of the corn acreage in 1996, while insecticides were used on 30 percent of the acreage. Atrazine was the most used herbicide with 71 percent of the reported acreage being treated. Atrazine was applied at the rate of .99 pound per acre. Dicamba and Metolachlor were the next two most widely used herbicides and they were applied to 25 and 30 percent of the reported acreage, respectively. Chlorpyrifos was the most widely used insecticide with 8 percent of the reported acreage. Chlorpyrifos was applied at the rate of 1.04 pounds per acre. Terbufos ranked second with six percent of the acreage. The following U.S. map shows the number of usable reports by State in the 1996 survey. These 16 States accounted for 70.3 million acres, 88.4 percent of the total corn acreage in 1996. The accompanying bar chart shows the 5 most commonly applied active ingredients in 1996 with comparisons for the previous two years.

Upland Cotton Nitrogen fertilizer was applied on 77 percent of the Upland cotton acreage during 1996, in the 8 States surveyed. Arizona and Louisiana were the only States showing an increase from 1995, treating 98 percent and 91 percent of their acreage respectively. Texas producers treated 55 percent of the acres, compared to 79 percent the previous year. All of Tennesse's acreage was treated with nitrogen. The area treated with phosphate totaled 55 percent of the planted acreage in these States. Georgia and Tennessee were the most widespread users, with 99 percent of their acreage being treated. Only Arizona and Louisiana treated a larger percentage of acreage compared to 1995. Arizona treated 43 percent of their Upland cotton acreage, up 9 points from 1995 and Louisiana applied phosphates to 64 percent of the acres, compared to 42 percent in 1995. Mississippi continued to treat the smallest percent of the planted area in these States, and applied phosphates to 27 percent of their planted area, down 13 points from a year earlier. Potash was applied to 43 percent of the area planted to Upland cotton in 1996. The Delta and Southeastern States were the largest users of potash, and Tennessee treated the largest percentage of acreage, at 99 percent. Louisiana showed a 19 point increase in area treated, at 67 percent, while Arizona continued to be the smallest user, treating 11 percent of the acres. Typically, about one application was required for phosphate and potash, although Arizona showed two applications were necessary for potash treatments. More than one treatment was generally used for nitrogen application, and Arizona producers averaged 2.7 applications. Herbicides were applied to 92 percent of the 1996 Upland cotton planted acreage in the 8 States surveyed. Arizona and Louisiana showed decreases of 14 points and 17 points respectively from 1995's use level. Texas showed an 8 point decline, while Georgia and Tennessee treated their entire planted area with at least one herbicide. Triflualin continued to be the most used herbicide, and was applied to 57 percent of the acreage. About three-fourths pound was applied per application. Insecticide applications covered 79 percent of the planted acres. Arizona producers treated 89 percent of their acres, 8 points less than the previous year, but Texas' use increased 7 points. Arkansas's use increased 9 points from 1995. Aldicarb was the most widely used of the insecticides, and was applied to 21 percent of the planted acreage in 1996. Malathion was applied to 17 percent of the crop and had the highest total pounds applied. More than two applications were required in 1996 and the rate of application was .89 pounds per acre. The second heaviest applied insecticide was Methyl Parathion, which covered 19 percent of the planted acreage. More than 3 applications of this were required and the average treatment applied .36 pounds per acre. Area treated with other chemicals totaled 60 percent of the 1996 Upland cotton acreage. Arizona showed the largest decrease from 1995, with 71 percent of the area treated, compared 92 percent in 1995. Arkansas producers treated 91 percent of their acreage, up 36 points from the previous year. Texas continued to treat the smallest percent of acres, at 39 percent. The following U.S. map shows the number of usable reports by State included in the 1996 survey. These States planted 11.9 million acres of Upland cotton, representing 83 percent of the total U.S. acreage planted to the crop in 1996.

Fall Season Potatoes Five major fall producing States were included in the 1996 survey. They were Idaho, Maine, Washington, and counties in Minnesota and North Dakota of the Red River Valley. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied to nearly all of the potato acres in the surveyed States. The number of applications averaged 3.1 times across the field with a total of 154 million pounds applied. Per acre rates averaged 195 pounds for the year. Phosphate was applied to 97 percent of the acres in the surveyed States, and a total of 134 million pounds was applied. The number of applications averaged 1.7 times per year for a total of 173 pounds per acre for the year. Potash applications were applied to 90 percent of the land. The percent of acres treated varied most for this fertilizer. The coverage ranged from 100 percent in Maine to 85 percent in Idaho. About 99 million pounds were applied in total. Per acre application averaged 139 pounds in 1.5 trips across the field. Herbicides were applied to 87 percent of the potato acreage in 1996. Coverage ranged from 64 percent in Red River Valley to 98 percent of the crop receiving herbicides in Maine. Metribuzin was the most widely applied active ingredient and was used on 64 percent of the total acreage. EPTC was second and was applied to 37 percent of the acres. Insecticides were applied to 83 percent of the acreage. Usage ranged from treatment on 97 percent of the acres in the Red River Valley to 73 percent of the acres in Idaho. The two most common active ingredients used were Carbofuran and Methamidophos, which were applied to 31 and 29 percent of the potato land, respectively. Fungicide treatments were applied to 89 percent of acreage in the five States' fall potato crop acreage. Maine and the Red River Valley treated all their acreage. Idaho and Washington used fungicides on 85 percent of the acreage. Chlorothalonil was used the most, as it was applied on 78 percent of the land. Mancozeb and Metalaxyl followed with application to 36 and 26 percent of the acres, respectively. Usage of other chemicals, primarily desiccants, varied widely among States. Other chemicals were used on 98 percent of the Maine acreage, while only 39 percent of Idaho's acreage was treated. Diquat was the most commonly used active ingredient - applied to 33 percent of the surveyed area. Idaho's most popular desiccant was Sulfuric Acid, used on 16 percent of the acreage. The U.S. map that follows shows the number of usable reports, by State, in the 1996 survey. These 5 States accounted for 63 percent of U.S. fall potato acreage covering 797,000 acres.

Soybeans Soybean producers in the eleven States surveyed (Wisconsin did not collect fertilizer data), applied nitrogen fertilizer to 15 percent of the area planted to soybeans. The percent of acres treated ranged from 4 percent in Louisiana to 28 percent in Nebraska. The average number of nitrogen applications per acre was 1.1 with an average application rate of 23 pounds per acre. Phosphate was applied on 25 percent of the soybean planted acreage in the surveyed States. Nebraska producers applied phosphate to 50 percent of the soybean acreage, while Iowa applications covered only 12 percent of the planted acreage. Potash was applied to 27 percent of the planted soybean acreage. An average of 97 percent of the soybean acreage was treated with herbicides, in the twelve States surveyed for pesticides. The most widely used herbicides were Imazethapyr, applied to 43 percent of the soybean acres, followed by pendimethalin and glyphosate applied to 27 and 25 percent of the acreage, respectively. Growers in the surveyed states applied insecticide to only 1 percent of the total soybean acres planted. With the exception of Methyl parathion in Louisiana, there were too few reports to publish individual state data for the insecticides. Growers reported few fungicide or other chemical applications. The U.S. map shows the number of usable reports by States included in the 1996 survey. The surveyed States represent 50.0 million acres of soybeans which was 78 percent of the soybeans planted in the U.S. in 1996. The bar chart shows the 5 most commonly applied active ingredients in 1996 with comparisons for the previous two years.

Flue-cured Tobacco Nitrogen was applied to 99 percent of the 1996 flue-cured tobacco harvested acres in the 4 States surveyed. In Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, nitrogen was applied to 100 percent of the acres, while in Virginia, nitrogen was applied to 97 percent of the acres. Growers made an average of 2.1 applications, applying an average of 42 pounds per acre. In the States surveyed, the percent of harvested acreage treated with phosphates and potash ranged from 97 to 100 percent. In the 4 States surveyed, herbicides were applied to 75 percent of the harvested flue-cured tobacco acreage in 1996. Pendimethalin was the most commonly used herbicide, being applied to 52 percent of the harvested acreage. Pebulate and Clomazone were applied to 14 and 13 percent of the harvested acres, respectively. In 1996, insecticides were applied to 96 percent of the flue-cured tobacco acreage. The most widely used insecticide was Acephate, which was applied to 87 percent of the harvested acres. Acephate was applied an average of 1.5 times at an average rate of .69 pounds per acre. The next most common insecticides were Chlorpyrifos, applied to 33 percent of the harvested acres, and Fenamiphos, applied to 27 percent of the harvested acres. The only fungicide that could be published for the surveyed States was Metalaxyl, which was applied to 49 percent of the harvested acres. For other chemicals applied to flue-cured tobacco acres in the surveyed States, 3 chemicals were widely used: Maleic hydrazide on 84 percent of the harvested acres; Fatty Alcohols, 57 percent; and Flumetralin, 47 percent.

Winter Wheat Nitrogen fertilizer was applied to 86 percent of the harvested area in the ten surveyed States; growers in all ten treated at least 75 percent of the grain area. Phosphate fertilizers were applied to 51 percent of the collective acreage in the ten States, ranging from just 10 percent in Oregon to Montana's 80 percent. All surveyed States treated at least a portion of the acreage with herbicides; 2,4-D was again the most prevalent in terms of area and total application. All Spring Wheat Most of the planted acres of North Dakota's Durum and the collective 3-state other spring plantings had primary fertilizer percent coverages similar to that of 1995. Minnesota had the highest percent coverage for all three primary nutrients. The three most popular herbicides in terms of all spring wheat area covered were 2,4-D, MCPA and Dicamba in that order. However, Durum growers applied Dicamba to a larger area than they did MCPA.

Survey Procedures: Large screening samples were drawn from the NASS List Sampling Frame. This extensive sampling frame covers all types of farms and accounts for about 82% of all land in farms in the U.S. The screening samples were selected in such a way as to insure that all farms on the list had a possibility of being selected. Farms that were more likely to be producers of crops of interest were more likely to be in the screening sample. The sampled farms were screened to determine the presence of all the crops of interest. From this subpopulation of operations identified as producing the crop of interest, a subsample of farms was selected in such a way as to insure that each identified producer had an opportunity to be selected. In general, larger farms were more likely to be selected than smaller farms. Once a farm producing a particular crop of interest was selected, one field containing this crop was randomly selected from all the fields on the farm producing that crop. The operator of the sampled field was personally interviewed to obtain information on chemical applications made to the selected field. Estimation procedures: The chemical applications data, reported by product name or trade name are reviewed within 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. Estimates of the total amount of active ingredient applied are based on the acreage estimates published in the NASS report "Crop Production - 1996 Summary" [Cr Pr 2-1(97)]. The estimates for total amount applied will not be revised even if there are subsequent revisions to acreage planted to a given crop. Detailed data within a table may not multiply across or add down due to independent rounding of the published values. 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 surveyed States. The reliability of these survey results are affected by sampling variability and non-sampling errors. The sampling variability, expressed as a percentage of the estimate, is referred to as the coefficient of variation (cv). Non-sampling errors are errors that occur during a survey process, and unlike sampling variability, are difficult to measure. They may be caused by interviewers failing to follow instructions, poorly worded questions, non- response, problematic survey procedures, or data handling between collection and publication. In these surveys, all survey procedures and analysis were carried out in a consistent and orderly manner to minimize the occurrence of these types of errors. Variability for estimates 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, are recommended by the manufacturer of the product, and are generally followed. 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. For example, estimates of use of a commonly used product, such as Atrazine, will exhibit less variability than a more rarely used product. For more commonly used chemicals, cv's will range from 1-20 percent at the U.S. level and 5-75 percent at the State level. Some rarer items will have cv's above 100 percent. These items have insufficient data for publication and these instances are noted. Terms and Definitions Active ingredient: The active ingredient is the specific chemical which kills or controls the target pests. 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 acid equivalent. Agricultural chemicals: The phrase agricultural chemicals refers to the active ingredients in fertilizers and pesticides. Application Rates: The 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 acre is the average number of pounds applied in one application. Rate per crop year is the average number of pounds applied counting multiple applications. Number of applications is the average number of times a treated acre receives a specific agricultural chemical. Area applied: The area that represents the percentage of crop acres receiving one or more applications of a specific agricultural chemical. This report does not contain acre treatments. However, acre treatments can be calculated by multiplying the acres planted by the percent of area applied and the average number of applications. Common name: The common name is an officially recognized name for an active ingredient. This report shows active ingredient by common name. Crop year: A crop year refers to the period immediately following harvest for the previous crop through harvest of the current crop. Fertilizer: The term fertilizer refers to applications of the primary nutrients, nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. Pesticides: As defined by 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. This report excludes pesticides used for seed treatments, for spot treatments, and for postharvest applications to the commodity. Trade name: A trademark 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. Trade Name, Common Name, and Pesticide Class The following is a list of the 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.
