United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Chemical Usage 1998 Field Crops Summary May 1999 National Agricultural Statistics Service Economic Research Service Ag Ch 1(99) 1998 Agricultural Chemical Use Estimates for Field Crops Overview: The agricultural chemical use estimates in this report refer to on-farm use of commercial fertilizers and pesticides on the targeted crops for the 1998 crop year. Farm and ranch operators were enumerated late in the growing season or after the farm operator had indicated that planned applications were completed. The chemical use data was not summarized for geographical areas other than as published in this report. The data was compiled from two surveys conducted in the Fall of 1998: The Agricultural Resources Management Study (ARMS) and the Fall Area Survey (FAS). Relevant portions of the survey instruments that were used for data collection are included in the back of this publication. Targeted crops in the ARMS include corn, upland cotton, fall potatoes, sorghum, soybeans, and winter, durum, and other spring wheat. Samples for these crops were drawn for state level estimates only. Crops targeted for chemical use data in the FAS were barley, oats, alfalfa hay, other hay, pasture and rangeland. Sample sizes for these crops were not large enough for state level estimates. Fertilizer use was not collected for these crops. Growers in Alaska and Hawaii were not surveyed and are not included in the U.S. totals.

Beginning with this report, chemical use will be based on acres planted. The expected affect of this change may be a slightly higher percentage of area applied with a corresponding increase in total applied. For some samples, the type of wheat was not determined prior to data collection. The result was that some states have insufficient data to publish chemical use on some types of wheat. This report excludes pesticides used for seed treatments and for postharvest applications to the commodity. Spot treatments are a small percentage (approximately 1%) of the applications and are also normally excluded from the report for planted crops. For this report, however, spot treatments are included for pasture and rangeland and other hay because it is a much more significant method of application for the crop. The result is that total applied for 1998 can be compared with 1997. For the chemicals most commonly applied in spot treatments, such as dicamba, glyphosate, picloram, triclopyr, and 2,4-D, the published rates of application are 25-50% below the rates that would be published if spot treatments had not been included. Highlights Barley: The U.S. barley crop was treated with 2.7 million pounds of herbicide to 63 percent of the acres. The most prevalent herbicide was 2,4-D, which was applied to 35 percent of the acres, followed by MCPA, which was used on 22 percent of the acres. Less than 1 percent of the acres were treated with an insecticide. Corn: Nitrogen was applied to 98 percent of the total 1998 corn acreage in the 16 States surveyed. Pennsylvania, with 88 percent, treated the smallest corn acreage. The next lowest was Colorado, where growers treated 93 percent of the planted corn acreage. Growers in Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, and Ohio reported 100 percent of the acreage treated. Growers used an average of 1.7 applications per acre applying 80 pounds per treatment. In the States surveyed, 83 percent of the planted corn acreage received phosphates, and potash was applied to 67 percent of the acreage. Herbicides were applied to 95 percent of the corn acreage in 1998. Atrazine was the most used herbicide with 69 percent of the reported acreage being treated. Atrazine was applied at the rate of 0.99 pound per acre. Acetochlor and metolachlor were the next two most widely used herbicides and they were applied to 25 and 32 percent of the reported acreage, respectively. In 1998, 30 percent of the corn acreage was treated with insecticides. Chlorpyrifos and terbufos were the most widely used insecticides, with 6 percent of the reported acreage treated. Chlorpyrifos was applied at the rate of 1.01 pounds per acre and Terbufos was applied at 1.13 pounds per acre. Upland Cotton: Nitrogen fertilizer was applied on 84 percent of the Upland cotton acreage during 1998, in the 10 States surveyed. Texas producers only treated 68 percent of the planted acres, compared to 82 percent the previous year, because of the large abandonment in 1998. The area treated with phosphate totaled 66 percent of the planted acreage in these States. Tennessee producers were the most widespread users, treating their entire acreage. Arizona and California continued as the smallest users, while the largest increase was in North Carolina, which showed a 26 point increase from the previous year. Potash was applied to 53 percent of the area planted to Upland cotton in 1998. Although Tennessee producers treated their entire acreage, the Southeastern region continued to be the largest users of potash. Arizona and California continued to be the smallest users, each State treating 13 percent of the acres. More than one treatment was needed for nitrogen application in all States, and Arizona producers averaged nearly three applications during the season. Herbicides were applied to 96 percent of the Upland cotton planted acreage in the 10 States surveyed. California and Louisiana showed increases of 6 points, and Arizona's use increased 8 points from 1997's level. Trifluralin continued to be the most used herbicide, and was applied to 57 percent of the acreage, up 2 points from 1997. About three-fourths pound was applied per application. Insecticide applications covered 71 percent of the Upland cotton planted acres in 1998. Most States showed an increase in use from the previous year, although Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas' use declined, and North Carolina's was unchanged from 1997. Arkansas producers treated 98 percent of their acreage, up 21 points from the previous year, while Louisiana and Tennessee usage increased 13 points and 12 points, respectively. Texas use decreased 15 points from 1997, to 47 percent of the acreage. Aldicarb continued to be the most widely used of the insecticides, and was applied to 22 percent of the planted acreage in 1998. Malathion was applied to 11 percent of the crop's acreage and had the highest total pounds applied. Area treated with other chemicals covered two-thirds of the 1998 planted acreage. In the Southeast, Georgia and North Carolina showed decreases of 13 points and 7 points, respectively, but Alabama showed an increase of 16 points from 1997. Louisiana had an increase of 17 points while Tennessee's usage was up 14 points from the previous year. Texas continued to treat the smallest percent of acreage with other chemicals, at 45 percent, 8 points below last year's use. Alfalfa Hay: Growers applied herbicides to 7 percent of their acres across the United States. The most heavily used herbicide was trifluralin with 625 thousand pounds used on 2 percent of the acres. The herbicide hexazinone was also used on 2 percent of the acres, with 225 thousand pounds applied. Insecticides were applied to 12 percent of the alfalfa acreage, with carbofuran and chlorpyrifos applied to 3 percent of the acreage. Other Hay: Herbicides were applied to 6 percent of the U.S. hay acres, other than alfalfa. 2,4-D was the most commonly used herbicide, being applied to four percent of the acres. Only 3 percent of the other hay acreage was treated with an insecticide during 1998, with carbaryl being the most common with 934 thousand pounds being applied to 2 percent of the aces. Oats: Growers applied herbicides to 23 percent and insecticides to 1 percent of their acres. The most prevalent herbicide, 2,4-D, was used on 13 percent of the acres with 269 thousand pounds applied. The herbicide MCPA was used on 6 percent of the acres with 99 thousand pounds applied. Total insecticide usage was 29 thousand pounds applied to 1 percent of the acres, with carbaryl being the most heavily used. Pasture and Rangeland: Data was collected in 1997 and 1998, but only active ingredient totals are published for 1997. Herbicide usage dropped from 8.1 million pounds in 1997 to 6.9 million pounds in 1998. Insecticide usage increased from 140 thousand pounds to 968 thousand pounds during the same time period. During 1998, the most widely used herbicide was 2,4-D, which was applied to 2 percent of the acres. Carbaryl was the most heavily used insecticide with 700 thousand pounds applied to less than 1 percent of the acres. Fall Season Potatoes: Only two fall producing States were included in the 1998 survey. Growers in Wisconsin were not asked questions on fertilizer applications. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied to nearly all of the potato acres in Pennsylvania. The number of applications averaged 1.9 times across the field with a total of 2.1 million pounds applied. Per acre rates averaged 143 pounds for the year. Phosphate was applied to 97 percent of the acres in Pennsylvania, and a total of 1.6 million pounds was applied. The number of applications averaged 1.2 times per year for an average of 107 pounds per acre for the year. Potash was applied to 96 percent of the land. About 2.1 million pounds were applied in total. Per acre application averaged 142 pounds for the crop year in 1.3 trips across the field. Herbicides were applied to 95 percent of the potato acreage in 1998 in the two states surveyed. Coverage ranged from 96 percent in Wisconsin to 90 percent of the crop receiving herbicides in Pennsylvania. Metribuzin was the most widely applied active ingredient and was used on 73 percent of the total acreage. Rimsulfuron was applied to 31 percent of the acres, and metolachlor was applied to 23 percent. Insecticides were applied to 98 percent of the acreage. Usage ranged from treatment on 99 percent of the acres in Pennsylvania to 97 percent of the acres in Wisconsin. The three most common active ingredients used were esfenvalerate, imidacloprid, and dimethoate; which were applied to 62, 50, and 44 percent of the potato land, respectively. Fungicide treatments were applied to 99 percent of acreage in the two States' fall potato crop acreage. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania growers each treated over 99 percent of their acreage. Chlorothalonil was used the most, as it was applied on 87 percent of the land, followed by mancozeb on 82 percent of the land. Triphenyltin hydroxide, azoxystrobin, copper hydroxide, cymoxanil, and metalaxyl, were used on percentages of the potato land ranging from 37 percent down to 15 percent. Usage of other chemicals, primarily desiccants, varied widely between the two States, being used on an average of 88 percent of the land. These chemicals were used on 91 percent of the Wisconsin acreage, and 69 percent of Pennsylvania's acreage was treated. Diquat was the most commonly used active ingredient in the two States and was applied to 81 percent of the planted area. Sorghum: Nitrogen was applied to 90 percent of the total 1998 sorghum acreage in Kansas (the only state surveyed). Growers used an average of 1.3 applications per acre, applying 51 pounds per treatment. Phosphates were applied to 54 percent of the planted sorghum acreage, at an average rate of 29 pounds per acre. Potash was applied to only 9 percent of the acreage. Herbicides were applied to 91 percent of the sorghum acreage in 1998. Atrazine was the most used herbicide with 82 percent of the reported acreage being treated. Sorghum growers used an average of 1.1 applications per acre, applying 1.12 pounds per treatment. Metolachlor and 2,4-D were the next two most widely used herbicides and they were applied to 40 and 18 percent of the reported acreage, respectively. In 1998, 11 percent of the sorghum acreage was treated with insecticides. Chlorpyrifos was the most widely used of the insecticides, with 5 percent of the reported acreage treated. Chlorpyrifos was applied at the rate of 0.44 pounds per acre. Kansas accounted for 3.5 million acres or 36 percent of the total sorghum acreage in 1998. Soybeans: Soybean producers in the sixteen States surveyed applied nitrogen fertilizer to 17 percent of the area planted to soybeans. The percent of acres treated ranged from 3 percent in Louisiana to 72 percent in Michigan. The average number of nitrogen applications per acre was 1.1, with an average application rate of 20 pounds per acre. Phosphate was applied on 24 percent of the soybean planted acreage in the surveyed States. Producers in Michigan applied phosphate to 73 percent of the soybean acreage, while Mississippi applications covered only 10 percent of the planted acreage. Potash was applied to 27 percent of the planted soybean acreage in the sixteen States surveyed. An average of 95 percent of the soybean acreage was treated with herbicides in the sixteen States surveyed. The most widely used herbicides were glyphosate, applied to 46 percent of the soybean acres, followed by pendimethalin and imazethapyr applied to 18 and 17 percent of the acreage, respectively. Growers in the surveyed States applied insecticide to only 2 percent of the total soybean acres planted. With the exception of insecticide applications in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina, there were too few reports to publish individual state data for the insecticides. Of the published states, Louisiana was the largest user of insecticides with 32 percent of the acreage treated. Growers reported few fungicide or other chemical applications. Winter Wheat: Nitrogen fertilizer was applied to 89 percent of the area planted for 1998 harvest in the surveyed States. Phosphate fertilizers were applied to 63 percent of the collective acreage, ranging from just 9 percent in Oregon to Ohio's 93 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: Percent coverage of nitrogen fertilizer was 94 in the surveyed Durum states and 87 in the other spring states. Phosphate coverage was similar in both crops, at 76 percent and 77 percent for Durum and other spring plantings, respectively. The three most popular herbicides in terms of Durum area covered were 2,4-D, dicamba, and tribenuron- methyl in that order. However, MCPA and fenoxaprop were second and third behind 2,4-D on other spring fields.

Survey Procedures: The data for this report were obtained from two different surveys. Data for corn, cotton, potatoes, sorghum, soybeans, and wheat were collected during the months of August through December of 1998. Large screening samples were drawn from the NASS List Sampling Frame. This extensive sampling frame covers all types of farms and accounts for approximately 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. Data for barley, oats, hay, and pasture and rangeland were collected in December, 1998. The data are based on a sample of 6,840 segments or parcels of land which average approximately 1 square mile. Enumerators conducting the area survey contacted all farmers having operations within the sampled segments and collected a variety of information, including pesticide applications for selected small grains, hay, and pasture. Estimates were then calculated, using the selection probability of each segment of land. 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 is 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 (except cotton) published in the annual NASS report "Crop Production - 1998 Summary" [Cr Pr 2-1(99)] for corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, and potatoes. The estimates of cotton acreage were revised and published in the monthly NASS report "Crop Production" [Cr Pr 2-2(5-99)] released on May 12, 1999. The estimates of pasture and rangeland acreage are for the 1997 year and were published in the report "1997 Census of Agriculture" released on February 1, 1999. The estimates for total amount applied will not be revised even if there are subsequent revisions to acreage for 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 surveys were designed so that the estimates are statistically representative of chemical use on the targeted crops in the surveyed states. The reliability of these survey results is affected by sampling variability and non-sampling errors. The results of this survey are subject to sampling variability. Sampling variability is a measure of how the estimates would differ if other samples had been drawn. The sampling variability expressed as a percent of the estimate is called the coefficient of variation (cv). Sampling variability of the estimates differed considerably by chemical and crop. 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. 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 5-30 percent at the U.S. level and 5-75 percent at the state or regional level. Some rarer items could have cv's above 100 percent. These items have insufficient data for publication and these instances are noted with an asterisk (*). Non-sampling errors 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 mistakes between collection and publication. In these surveys, all survey procedures and analyses were carried out in a consistent and orderly manner to minimize the occurrence of these types of errors. 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 the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), pesticides include any substance or mixture of sub- stances 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. 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.
