Farm and ranch operators were enumerated late in the growing season or after the farm operator had indicated planned applications were completed. The chemical use data were not summarized for geographical areas other than published in this report. The data were compiled from the Agricultural Resources Management Study (ARMS) and (the Objective Yield Survey,) with data collection occurring primarily during the months of October-December of 2001. Relevant portions of the survey instruments used in data collection are included in the back of this publication. Targeted crops from the (2001 Objective Yield Survey) include upland cotton, fall potatoes, and soybeans. Corn was the target crop from the ARMS. Program State data are not comparable to previous years' data for upland cotton, fall potatoes, and soybeans due to fewer States being included in the Objective Yield Survey Program.

Spot treatments, which account for a small percentage (approximately 1%) of total applications, are also excluded. Highlights Corn: Nitrogen was applied to 96 percent of the 2001 corn acreage in the 19 Program States: Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. Growers in Nebraska, New York, Ohio, and Texas reported 100 percent of the acreage treated with nitrogen. Corn growers used an average of 1.8 applications per acre while applying 73 pounds of nitrogen per treatment. In the Program States, 79 percent of the planted corn acreage received phosphates, while potash was applied to 65 percent of the acreage. Herbicides were applied to 98 percent of the corn acreage in 2001. Atrazine continued to be the most commonly used herbicide with 75 percent of the reported acreage being treated. It was applied at a rate of 1.07 pounds per acre. Acetochlor, S-Metolachlor, and Dicamba were the next three most widely used herbicides and were applied to 26, 19, and 15 percent, respectively; of the reported acreage in the Program States. In 2001, 29 percent of the corn acreage was treated with insecticides. Chlorpyrifos was the most commonly used insecticide, representing 3.7 million out of the total 9.0 million pounds of insecticide applied in the 19 Program States. Chlorpyrifos was applied at the rate of 1.04 pounds per acre. Upland Cotton: Nitrogen fertilizer was applied on 76 percent of the upland cotton acreage during 2001 in the 7 Program States: Arkansas, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas. The area treated with phosphates totaled 48 percent of the planted acreage in the Program States. Georgia reported the greatest use of phosphates, treating 92 percent of the planted acreage. Potash was applied to 41 percent of the area planted to upland cotton in 2001 for the 7 Program States. Once again, Georgia reported the highest percentage of acres treated with potash at 93 percent. Herbicides were applied to 90 percent of the upland cotton planted acreage in the Program States. Glyphosate continued to be the most commonly used herbicide reported, and it was applied to 57 percent of the acreage. Trifluralin was applied to 30 percent of the planted acres, followed by Diuron which was applied to 26 percent. Insecticide applications were made to 68 percent of the upland cotton planted acres in 2001 for the 7 Program States. Malathion, at approximately 17.8 million pounds, continued to be the active ingredient with the highest total pounds applied for upland cotton in the Program States. Aldicarb and Acephate were the next two most widely used insecticides in upland cotton, with 1.8 and 1.5 million pounds applied, respectively. Area treated with other chemicals was 55 percent of the 2001 planted acreage. Ethephon was the active ingredient, under this pesticide class, with the highest total amount applied at 4.47 million pounds applied to 34 percent of the upland cotton planted acres in the Program States. Fall Potatoes: Seven fall potato producing States were included in the 2001 survey: Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied to 98 percent of the fall potato acreage in these States. The number of nitrogen applications in the Program States averaged 3.4 per acre with a total of 184.4 million pounds applied. Phosphate was applied to 95 percent of the acres in the States surveyed with a total of 142.2 million pounds being applied. Potash was applied to 86 percent of the fall potato acreage. Herbicides were applied to 82 percent of the fall potato acreage in 2001 in the 7 Program States. Metribuzin was the most widely applied herbicide and it was used on 64 percent of the planted acreage while Pendimethalin was applied to 28 percent of the planted acres. Insecticides were applied to 93 percent of the 2001 fall potato acreage. The two most common reported insecticides were Imidacloprid and Cyfluthrin which were applied to 41 and 22 percent of the fall potato acreage, respectively. Esfenvalerate and Phorate were both applied on 20 percent of the planted acres. Fungicide treatments were applied to 85 percent of the fall potato acreage in the Program States. Chlorothalonil was used the most, as it was applied on 61 percent of the acreage, followed by Mancozeb on 51 percent of the fall potato acreage. Usage of other chemicals, primarily desiccants, varied widely among the 7 States with an average of 61 percent of the fall potato acreage being treated. Diquat was the most commonly used other chemical in the Program States, and was applied to 31 percent of the planted area. Soybeans: Soybean producers in the 8 Program States (Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio) applied nitrogen fertilizer to 11 percent of the area planted to soybeans. The percent of acres treated ranged from 3 percent in Arkansas to 22 percent in Nebraska. The average number of nitrogen applications per acre was 1.0 with an average application rate of 22 pounds per acre. Phosphate was applied to 17 percent of the soybean planted acreage while Potash was applied to 20 percent of the planted soybean acreage in the 8 Program States. In the 8 Program States, 96 percent of the soybean acreage was treated with herbicides. The most widely used herbicides were Glyphosate, applied to 73 percent of the soybean acreage, followed by Pendimethalin applied to 10 percent, and Imazethapyr applied to 9 percent of the planted acreage. Trifluralin and Fomesafen were both applied to 7 percent of the soybean acreage. Soybean growers in the States surveyed applied insecticides to only 1 percent of the soybean acres planted. Although there were too few reports to publish insecticide data for most States, data are published for Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska. Soybean growers also reported few fungicide applications.

The Pest Management Practices 2001 Summary is based on data compiled from respondents participating in the Agricultural Resource Management Study (ARMS) for corn and respondents in the 2001 Objective Yield Survey for upland cotton, fall potatoes, and soybeans. Producers were first asked how many acres of a specific commodity they grew in 2001, followed by questions regarding the use of specific pest management practices, in a yes/no format. Pests were defined as weeds, insects, and diseases. If the respondent used a specific practice on a crop, it was assumed that the practice was used on all acres of that crop. For example, if a producer had 500 acres of corn, and used field mapping of previous weed problems to assist in making weed management decisions, it was assumed that all 500 acres were mapped. For this report, each question has been categorized into one of four pest management categories: prevention, avoidance, monitoring, and suppression. The actual questions used to collect these data are shown on pages 103-106. The data are published in two tables for each crop: percent of acres receiving the specific pest management practice and percent of farms using the specific pest management practice. These percentages are published at the Program States and State levels. For all the crops in this survey, the percentages refer only to farms and planted acres. The percent of acres planted to corn, cotton, and soybean biotech varieties, for insect and herbicide resistance only, are carried over from the previously published 2001 June Acreage report. Highlights: A review of overall 2001 survey results showed comparatively similar trends in terms of which Pest Management Practices were reported for the selected Field Crops: corn, upland cotton, fall potatoes, and soybeans. The use of pest management practices in terms of percentage of farms showed some decreases across several categories. Reasons for the changes vary by crop type, but in general, farmers in the 2001 crop year responded to different economic and climatological conditions. Low commodity prices combined with escalating energy and input costs placed many producers in a cost-price squeeze. Excessive moisture in some areas and resulting pest pressures, along with drought and its carryover effects in other areas, likely played significant roles in the adoption of more cost effective pest management practices by farmers. Continued educational efforts on Integrated Pest Management and precision farming practices, and a change in data collection methodology for this survey also may have had effects on overall survey results. Corn: Rotating Crops to Control Pests was used on 71 percent of the corn acres in the 19 Program States and was the leading pest management practice for corn. It was also the most widely used avoidance practice in terms of percent of farms, at 65 percent. Scouting for Pests was reported on 55 percent of the corn acres. Alternating Pesticides and using Tillage/etc. to Manage Pests were also common, each being reported on 41 and 31 percent of the corn acres. Upland Cotton: Scouting for Pests was used by 62 percent of the cotton farms on 61 percent of the cotton acres in the 7 Program States. Prevention practices of using Tillage/etc. to Manage Pests were used on 61 percent of the farms and 66 percent of the acres. Fall Potatoes: The two most common pest management practices for fall potatoes were Scouting for Pests and Rotating Crops, which were performed on 84 percent and 83 percent, respectively, of the fall potato acres by 86 percent of the farms in the 7 Program States. Alternating Pesticides as a suppression practice was used on 81 percent of the fall potato acres. Cleaning Implements after Fieldwork was used on 66 percent of the acres as a prevention practice. Soybeans: The most common pest management practice for soybeans was Rotating Crops to Control Pests, which was reported on 79 percent of the soybean acres and 76 percent of the farms in the 8 Program States. Other common practices, in terms of the percentage of soybean acres reported by soybean farmers included: Tillage/etc. to Manage Pests (51 percent), Scouting for Pests (39 percent), Alternating Pesticides (36 percent), and Cleaning Implements after Fieldwork (34 percent).

Survey, Estimation Procedures, and Reliability Survey Procedures: Data for corn, upland cotton, soybeans, and fall potatoes were collected during the months of August through December of 2001. Data for corn were obtained from the 2001 Agricultural Resources Management Study (ARMS). 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 upland cotton, soybeans, and fall potatoes were obtained from the Field Crop Chemical Use Survey (FCCUS). The samples for FCCUS were drawn from the Objective Yield Survey (OYS). The potato sample was drawn from the NASS List Sampling Frame. The cotton and soybean samples were drawn from the NASS Area Sampling Frame. The Area Sampling frame covers the entire continental U.S., thus accounting for 100% of all land in farms in the targeted states. From this population, individual acres of the targeted commodity were sampled for OYS. In FCCUS, data were collected for the field that contained the OYS sampled acres. A large field was more likely to be selected than a small field. FCCUS data for the field was only collected once, even if a field contained multiple OYS samples. The operator of the sampled field was personally interviewed to obtain information on chemical applications made to the selected field. Field Crops Chemical Use Estimation Procedures: The chemical application data, reported by product name or trade name, are reviewed within each 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 published in the annual NASS report "Crop Production - 2001 Summary" [Cr Pr 2-1(02)] for corn, upland cotton, fall potatoes, and soybeans. Cotton acreage estimates and summary calculations are based on preliminary upland cotton acreage for crop year 2001. The 2001 upland cotton acreage in Georgia was revised in May 2002, from 1.5 million acres to 1.49 million acres, less than 1 percent. 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. Survey, Estimation Procedures, and Reliability (continued) Pest Management Practices Estimation Procedures: For each crop/pest management practice combination, two ratios are calculated: percent of farms and percent of acres covered by that practice. The ratios were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with previous years. These ratios will not be revised even if there are subsequent revisions to acreage for a given crop. 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 5-35 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. Allelopathic: The release of chemical compounds from a plant that will inhibit the growth of another plant, such as weeds. Agricultural chemicals: Refers to the active ingredients in fertilizers and pesticides. 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: 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. Avoidance: May be practiced when pest populations exist in a field or site but the impact of the pest on the crop can be avoided through some cultural practice. Examples of avoidance tactics include crop rotation such that the crop of choice is not a host for the pest, choosing cultivars with genetic resistance to pests, using trap crops, choosing cultivars with maturity dates that may allow harvest before pest populations develop, fertilization programs to promote rapid crop development, and simply not planting certain areas of fields where pest populations are likely to cause crop failure. Some tactics for prevention and avoidance strategies may overlap. The following questions were categorized as avoidance practices: Did you use any crop varieties that were genetically modified to be resistant to insects(Bt, etc.)? Did you adjust planting or harvesting dates to control pests? Did you rotate crops for the purpose of controlling pests? Did you use any crop varieties that were genetically modified to be resistant to plant pathogens or nematodes causing plant diseases? Did you choose planting locations to avoid cross infestation of insects or disease? Did you grow a trap crop to help control insects? Beneficial Insects: Insects collected and introduced into locations because of their value in biologic control as prey on harmful insects and parasites. Terms and Definitions (continued) Chemigation: Application of an agricultural chemical by injecting it into irrigation water. Crop year: The period immediately following harvest for the previous crop through harvest of the current crop. Common name: An officially recognized name for an active ingredient. This report shows active ingredient by common name. Crop year: Refers to the period immediately following harvest for the previous crop through harvest of the current crop. Cultivars: A horticulturally or agriculturally derived variety of a plant, as distinguished from a natural variety. Fertilizer: Refers to applications of the primary nutrients, nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. Fungi: A lower form of parasitic plant life which often reduces crop production and/or lowers the grade quality of its host. Monitoring: Includes proper identification of pests through surveys or scouting programs, including trapping, weather monitoring, and soil testing where appropriate. The following questions were categorized as monitoring practices: Was this crop scouted for pests (weeds, insects or disease)using a systematic method? Did you use field mapping of previous weed problems to assist you in making weed management decisions? Did you use soil analysis to detect the presence of soilborne pests or pathogens? Did you use pheromones to monitor pests by trapping? Did you use weather monitoring to predict the need for pesticide applications? Nematodes: Microscopic, worm-shaped parasitic animals. Damage to many crops can be severe. Pesticides: As defined by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (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. Pheromone: A chemical substance produced by an insect which serves as a stimulus to other individuals of the same species for one or more behavioral responses. Terms and Definitions (continued) Prevention: Is the practice of keeping a pest population from infesting a crop or field. It includes such tactics as using pest-free seeds and transplants, preventing weeds from reproducing, choosing cultivars with genetic resistance to insects or disease, irrigation scheduling to avoid situations conducive to disease development, cleaning tillage and harvesting equipment between fields or operations, using field sanitation procedures, and eliminating alternate hosts or sites for insect pests and disease organisms. The following questions were categorized as prevention practices: Did you clean tillage or harvesting implements after completing fieldwork for the purpose of reducing the spread of weeds, diseases or other pests? Did you remove or plow down crop residues to control pests? Did you use practices such as tilling, mowing, burning, or chopping of field edges, lanes, ditches, roadways or fence lines to manage pests? Did you use water management practices, such as controlled drainage or irrigation scheduling, excluding chemigation, to control pests? Suppression: Tactics include cultural practices such as narrow row spacings or optimized in-row plant populations, alternative tillage approaches such as no-till or strip-till systems, cover crops or mulches, or using crops with allelopathic potential in the rotation. Physical suppression tactics may include cultivation or mowing for weed control, baited or pheromone traps for certain insects, and temperature management or exclusion devices for insect and disease management. Biological controls, including mating disruption for insects, could be considered as alternatives to conventional pesticides, especially where long-term control of an especially troublesome pest species can be obtained. Chemical pesticides are important and some use will remain necessary. However, pesticides should be applied as a last resort in suppression systems. The following questions were categorized as suppression practices: Did you use any crop varieties that were genetically modified to be resistant to specific herbicides (Roundup Ready, Liberty Link, Poast-Protected corn, STS soybean, IT corn)? Did you use scouting data and compare it to university or extension guidelines for infestation thresholds to determine when to take measures to control pests? Did you use beneficial organisms (insects, nematodes or fungi) to control pests? Did you use topically applied biological pesticides such as Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), insect growth regulators, neem or other natural products to control pests? Did you maintain ground covers, mulch or physical barriers to reduce pest problems? Did you adjust row spacing, plant density or row direction to control pests? Did you alternate pesticides to keep pests from becoming resistant to pesticides (use pesticides with different mechanisms of action)? Did you use pheromones to control pests by disrupting mating? Terms and Definitions (continued) 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 formulation as in the case of pre-mixes, can contain more than one active ingredient. Active Ingredients Applied and Publication Status by Program States: These tables are provided to show all active ingredients reported in the Program States. The Publication Status is determined by confidentiality rules. In order to publish data for an active ingredient, there must be a minimum of five reports for the specific active ingredient at the summary level (by crop, by State or All Program States). If there are five or more reports, then the active ingredient data are published and designated as a "P" in the table. In cases where there are not enough reports to publish usage data for a given active ingredient, an "*" appears in the table. This means the active ingredient was reported, but there were not a sufficient number of reports. 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.
