| Abstract |
The survey utilized gathered data from the agricultural area, utilities, federal, and state governmental agencies, and estimates from leading pest control operators. The objectives of the survey were to provide a reliable pattern of use and an inventory of the pesticides disbursed to the environment, to serve economic, health, and ecologic purposes. Nine hundred and three million pounds of all type pesticides were reported in this survey of the United States for 1974. Almost 94% of this was in agriculture, with 3.5% in government, and 2.5% in industry sectors. The greatest use of pesticides occurred in the Southeastern and mid-southern states. Low use areas were in the Northeastern part of the United States. |
