Targeted crops included barley, corn, fall potatoes, sorghum, and upland cotton. Farm and ranch operators were enumerated late in the growing season after the farm operator had indicated that planned applications were completed. The chemical use data were not summarized for geographical areas other than those States published in this report. The data were compiled from the Agricultural Resources Management Survey (ARMS). The main portion of data collection time frame occurred during the months of October-December of 2003. Relevant portions of the survey instruments used in data collection are included in the back of this publication. This report excludes pesticides used for seed treatments and postharvest applications to the commodity. Spot treatments, which account for a very small percentage of total applications, are also excluded. The table below shows the number of States surveyed, the number of summarized reports for each State, and the percent of the Program States' acres planted to that commodity compared with the U.S. total. Highlights Barley: Nitrogen was applied to 93 percent of the 2003 barley planted acreage in the following Program States: California, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Nitrogen applications ranged from 37 percent of the acres treated in Wisconsin to 99 percent in Washington. Barley growers used an average of 1.4 applications per acre while applying 40 pounds of nitrogen per treatment. This computes to a crop year rate per acre of 60 pounds. In the Program States, 79 percent of the acres of barley planted received a phosphate application, while potash was applied to 29 percent of the acreage planted to barley. Herbicides were applied to 93 percent of the barley planted acreage in 2003. MCPA was the most widely applied herbicide with 45 percent of the planted acreage being treated. It was applied at a rate of 0.32 pounds per acre. The next three most widely applied herbicides applied to barley, namely 2,4-D, bromoxynil, and fenoxaprop, were applied to 30, 29, and 28 percent, respectively, of the planted barley acreage. In 2003, 3 percent of the barley planted acreage was treated with insecticides. The insecticides applied to barley were all put on less than one percent of the planted acres; therefore, no area applied values were published. Based on total pounds applied, methyl parathion at 9,000 pounds, was the most widely used insecticide on barley acres planted in the Program States. Fungicides were applied to 7 percent of the barley planted acreage in the States in the survey program. Corn: Nitrogen was applied to 96 percent of the 2003 corn planted acreage in the Program States: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. Corn growers used an average of 1.7 applications per acre while applying 78 pounds of nitrogen per treatment. This computes to a crop year rate per acre of 136 pounds per acre. In the Program States, 79 percent of the corn planted acreage received a phosphate application, while potash was applied to 64 percent of the planted acreage. Herbicides were applied to 95 percent of the corn planted acreage in 2003 in the Program States. Atrazine continued to be the most widely applied herbicide with 68 percent of the planted acreage being treated. It was applied at a rate of 1.04 pounds per acre. Acetochlor, at 26 percent of the planted acres treated, was the second most widely applied herbicide, followed by glyphosate and S-metolachlor, both applied to 19 percent of the planted corn acreage treated in the Program States. In 2003, 29 percent of the corn planted acreage was treated with insecticides in the Program States. Cyfluthrin and tebupirimphos were the most widely applied insecticides, both applied to 7 percent of the acres planted to corn in the States surveyed. Fall Potatoes: Ten fall producing States were included in the 2003 survey: Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied to 100 percent of the fall potato acreage in these States. Nitrogen applications averaged 4.0 per acre with a total of 218.5 million pounds applied. Phosphate was applied to 94 percent of the fall potato acres in the Program States, with a total of 158.2 millions pounds applied. Potash was applied to 88 percent of the acreage planted to fall potatoes in the States surveyed. Herbicides were applied to 91 percent of the fall potato acreage in 2003 in the ten Program States. Metribuzin was the most widely applied herbicide, applied to 69 percent of the planted acreage being treated, at a rate of 0.42 pounds per acre. The next three most widely applied herbicides applied to fall potatoes, pendimethalin, rimsulfuron, and EPTC, were applied to 25, 23, and 22 percent, respectively, of the planted fall potato acres in the Program States. Insecticides were applied to 84 percent of the 2003 fall potato planted acreage. The two most commonly applied insecticides reported in the States surveyed were imidacloprid and cyfluthrin, which were applied to 41 and 31 percent of the fall potato acreage, respectively. Fungicide treatments were applied to 91 percent of the fall potato acreage in the Program States. Mancozeb was used most commonly, as it was applied to 64 percent of the planted acres, followed closely by chlorothalonil on 56 percent of the fall potato acreage in the States surveyed. Usage of Other Chemicals, primarily desiccants, varied widely among the States surveyed. Percent of acreage treated ranged from 3 percent in North Dakota to 77 percent in Washington. Overall, 47 percent of the acres planted to fall potatoes in the Program States received an application of an Other Chemical. Diquat and metam-sodium applied to, respectively, 30 and 25 percent of the fall potato planted acreage, were the most commonly applied Other Chemicals. Sorghum: States surveyed for sorghum include Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied to 82 percent of the 2003 sorghum planted acreage in the Program States. Sorghum growers in the Program States applied nitrogen on average 1.3 times per acre, putting down 61 pounds of nitrogen per treatment. Fertilizers with phosphate were applied to 49 percent of the planted acreage and 9 percent of the planted acreage received potash applications. Sorghum producers in the States surveyed treated 85 percent of the sorghum planted acreage with herbicides. Atrazine was the most widely applied herbicide with 70 percent of the planted acreage being treated in the Program States. It was applied at a rate of 1.04 pounds per acre. Glyophosate was the second most widely used herbicide, applied to 27 percent of the planted sorghum acreage in the Program States. In 2003, 8 percent of the sorghum planted acreage was treated with insecticides in the Program States. Terbufos was the most widely applied insecticide, which was applied to 4 percent of the acres planted to sorghum in the States surveyed. Upland Cotton: Producers in the Program States (Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas) applied nitrogen fertilizer to 82 percent of the upland cotton planted acreage. The average number of nitrogen applications per acre was 1.5 with an average application rate of 61 pounds per acre. Phosphate was applied on 62 percent of the upland cotton planted acreage in the Program States, with a total of 394.1 million pounds applied. Potash was applied to 52 percent of the planted upland cotton planted acreage in the Program States. Producers in Tennessee applied potash to a high of 96 percent of the upland cotton planted acreage, whereas Arizona producers applied potash to a low of only 11 percent of the planted acreage. In the Program States, 98 percent of the upland cotton planted acreage was treated with herbicides. The most widely used herbicides were glyphosate, applied to 69 percent of the upland cotton acreage, followed by trifluralin and diuron, applied to 39 and 28 percent, respectively, of the planted acreage in the States surveyed. Insecticide applications were made to 64 percent of the upland cotton planted acres in 2003 for the twelve Program States. Malathion, at approximately 6.2 millions pounds, continued to be the most commonly used active ingredient based on total pounds applied. Acephate and Aldicarb were the next two most commonly used insecticides on upland cotton, with 2.5 and 2.0 million pounds applied, respectively, in the Program States. Fungicides were applied to 7 percent of the upland cotton planted acreage in the States in the survey program. Area treated with Other Chemicals was 66 percent of the 2003 planted acreage in the Program States. In this pesticide class, Ethephon was the active ingredient most commonly used, as it was applied to 50 percent of the acres planted to upland cotton in those States surveyed.

Pest Management Practices - Highlights In an effort to enhance and improve statistics available for pest management practices on field crops, NASS has revamped this particular section of the survey. The 2003 ARMS II survey asked considerably more pest management practices questions than have been asked in previous surveys. Some questions formerly asked were modified to more accurately capture current pest management practices on the commodities being surveyed. Other questions were removed due to changes in common practices on specific crops. Some questions remained unchanged, so year to year comparisons are still valid. Corn was surveyed in 2002, with the pest management practices published in May 2003. Upland cotton and fall potatoes were last surveyed in 2001, and barley and sorghum were surveyed for pest management practices in 1998. The manner in which the questions pertaining to scouting were asked has changed between 2002 and 2003. Scouting is now classified as scouting by either general observation or scouting deliberately. Tillage practices is now a separate question than information regarding field edge, roadway and fence line maintenance. Formerly this was one question but it is now broken out into two separate questions. Barley: Producers reported a high percent of farms (88 percent) scouting for pests on barley. Scouting for weeds, diseases, and insects was done most often by the operator, partner, or a family member. Rotating crops to control pests and weather monitoring were the next two most common practices reported by 58 and 34 percent of farms respectively. Corn: Scouting for weeds was used on 84 percent of the farms growing corn and on 88 percent of the corn acres. Scouting for diseases and insects were very common pest management practices used on corn. Three-quarters of the corn growers surveyed rotated crops in the field during the past three years in order to manage pests. Fall Potatoes: The two most common pest management practices for fall potatoes were scouting for pests and rotating field crops, each practice performed on over 90 percent of the farms in the ten Program States. Cultivating the fall potato field for weed control during the growing season was practiced on 97 percent of the farms surveyed. Maintaining field edges, lanes, ditches, roadways, or fence lines as a prevention practice was used on 81 percent of the fall potato acres. Sorghum: Producers of sorghum reported a high level of scouting for weeds, at 86 percent of farms. Rotating crops to control pests and scouting for insects and mites were the next two most common practices reported by 66 and 58 percent of farms, respectively. Upland Cotton: Scouting for weeds, insects and diseases was used by 87, 91, and 75 percent, respectively, of the cotton farms on acres in the twelve Program States. Prevention practices of maintaining field edges, lanes, ditches, roadways, or fence lines by chopping, mowing, plowing, or burning to manage pests was used by 67 percent of the farms on 73 percent of the upland cotton acres in the States surveyed. Producers continue to increase usage of pest resistant varieties of upland cotton, with a range from 20 - 70 percent of acres planted in the Program States.

Survey, Estimation Procedures, and Reliability Survey Procedures: Data for barley, corn, fall potatoes, sorghum, and upland cotton were collected on the 2003 Agricultural Resources Management Survey (ARMS) during the months of August through December 2003. 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. All farms on the list had a possibility of being selected for the screening sample. Farms thought to have the crops of interest were more likely to be in the screening sample. Sampled farms were screened to determine if they grew the target crops in 2003. From this subpopulation of operations identified as producing a 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 barley, corn, fall potatoes, sorghum, or upland cotton was selected, one field was randomly selected from all the fields on the farm. The operator of the sampled field was personally interviewed to obtain information on chemical applications made to the selected field. 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 manufacturers' 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. For this publication, detailed data within a table may not multiply across or add down due to independent rounding of the published values. Estimates of the total amount of active ingredient applied are based on the acreage estimates published in the annual NASS report "Crop Production - 2003 Summary" [Cr Pr 2-1(04)] for barley, corn, fall potatoes, sorghum, and upland cotton. Please note that the estimates for total amount of an active ingredient applied 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. Since all operations producing the crops of interest are not included in the sample, survey estimates are subject to sampling variability. 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: Refers to the mechanism of action in pesticides 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. Application Rates: Refer to the average number of pounds of a fertilizer primary nutrient or pesticide active ingredient is applied to an acre of land. Rate per application is the average number of pounds applied per acre in one application. Rate per crop year is the average number of pounds applied per acre counting multiple applications. Number of applications is the average number of times a treated acre received a specific primary nutrient or active ingredient. Area applied: Represents the percentage of crop acres receiving one or more applications of a specific primary nutrient or active ingredient. 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 pest management questions were categorized as avoidance practices: Were planting or harvesting dates adjusted for this field to manage pests? Were crops rotated in this field during the past 3 years for the purpose of managing pests? Were planting locations planned to avoid infestation of pests? Was a trap crop grown to help manage insects in this field? Was a seed variety chosen to plant in this field because it had resistance to a specific pest? Beneficial Insects: Insects collected and introduced into locations because of their value in biologic control as prey on harmful insects and parasites. Chemigation: Application of an agricultural chemical by injecting it into irrigation water. 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 of 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. Farm: Any establishment from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or would normally be sold during the year. Government payments are included in sales. Places with all acreage enrolled in set aside or other government programs are considered operating. 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. Land in Farms: All land operated as part of a farming operation during the year. It includes crop and livestock acreage, wasteland, woodland, pasture, land in summer fallow, idle cropland, and land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program and other set-aside, conservation, or commodity acreage programs. It excludes public, industrial, and grazing association land, and nonagricultural land. It excludes all land operated by establishments not qualifying as farms. Monitoring: Includes proper identification of pests through systematic sampling or counting or other forms of scouting. Also, weather monitoring to predict levels of pest populations or to determine the most effective time to make pesticide applications, and soil testing where appropriate. The following pest management practices questions were categorized as monitoring practices: In 2003, how was this field primarily scouted for insects, weeds, diseases and/or beneficial organisms? (By conducting general observations while performing routine tasks? By deliberately going to the field specifically for scouting activities? This field was not scouted?) Was an established scouting process used (systematic sampling, recording counts, etc.) or were insect traps used in this field? Was scouting for pests done in this field due to a pest advisory warning? Was scouting for pests done in this field due to a pest development model? Was this field scouted for weeds? (If so, Who did the majority of the scouting? Operator, partner or family member, OR An employee, OR Farm supply or chemical dealer, OR Independent crop consultant or commercial scout?) Was this field scouted for insects and mites? (If so, Who did the majority of the scouting? Operator, partner or family member, OR An employee, OR Farm supply or chemical dealer, OR Independent crop consultant or commercial scout?) Was this field scouted for diseases? (If so, Who did the majority of the scouting? Operator, partner or family member, OR An employee, OR Farm supply or chemical dealer, OR Independent crop consultant or commercial scout?) Were written or electronic records kept for this field to track the activity or numbers of weeds, insects or diseases? Was field mapping data used for making weed management decisions on this field? Were the services of a diagnostic laboratory used for pest identification or soil or plant tissue pest analysis for this field? Was weather data used to assist in determining either the need or when to make pesticide applications? Were floral lures, attractants, repellants, pheromone traps or other biological pest controls used on this field? 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. Prevention: Is the practice of keeping a pest population from infesting a crop or field. It includes such tactics as using pest-free seeds or transplants, alternative tillage approaches such as no-till or strip-till systems, 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 pest management questions were categorized as prevention practices: Were field edges, lanes, ditches, roadways or fence lines chopped, mowed, plowed, or burned to manage pests for this field? Were crop residues plowed down or removed in this field to manage pests? Were equipment and implements cleaned after completing field work in this field to reduce the spread of pests? Were water management practices such as irrigation scheduling, controlled drainage, or treatment of retention water used on this field to manage pests? Was this field cultivated for weed control during the growing season? Was no-till or minimum till used to manage pests in this field? Suppression: Tactics include cultural practices such as narrow row spacings or optimized in-row plant populations, using 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 pesticides and controls, including mating disruption for insects, can be considered as alternatives to conventional pesticides. Determining pest thresholds and alternating pesticide active ingredients to avoid resistance buildup are suppression methods which minimize pesticide use. The following questions were categorized as suppression practices: Was scouting data compared to published information on infestation thresholds to determine when to take measures to manage pests in this field? Were any biological pesticides such as Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), insect growth regulators (Courier, Intrepid, etc.) neem or other natural/biological based products sprayed or applied to manage pests in this field? Were any beneficial organisms (insects, nematodes, fungi) applied or released in this field to manage pests? Were ground covers, mulches, or other physical barriers maintained for this field to manage pest problems? Was row spacing or plant density adjusted in this field to manage pests? Were pesticides with different mechanisms of action rotated or tank mixed for the primary purpose of keeping pests from becoming resistant to pesticides? 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. Trade Names, Common Names, and Classes The following is a list showing common name, associated class, and trade name of active ingredients in this publication.
