Update Alert

Corrections on pages 71 and 72. Data and stubs were misaligned on Winter Wheat tables for Oregon 

and South Dakota. 

Overview 

The agricultural chemical use estimates in this report refer to on-farm use of commercial fertilizers 

and pesticides on targeted field crops for the 2006 crop year. Field crops include rice, organic 

soybeans, soybeans, durum wheat, other spring wheat, and winter wheat. Farm 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 by those States published in this report.

The data were compiled from 2 surveys, the Agricultural Resources Management Survey (ARMS) 

and Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP). Data collection occurred primarily during 

the months of September to December of 2006. An example of the survey instrument used in data 

collection is included in the back of this publication. 

The table below shows the number of States included in the survey, the number of summarized 

reports from the States, and the percent of the Program States= acres planted to that commodity 

compared with the U.S. total. Producers of soybeans, durum wheat, other spring wheat, and winter 

wheat were last surveyed using both ARMS and CEAP surveys in 2004. Rice producers were last 

surveyed in 2000.

This page intentionally left blank. 
Distribution Tables – Highlights

The following distribution tables provide details about the distribution of agricultural chemical 

active ingredients commonly applied to the selected field. Chemical distribution rates are listed by 

active ingredient for the Percent of Acres Treated, Number of Applications, Rate per Application, 

and Rate per Crop year. In order for an active ingredient to be published in these tables, at least 

30 farm operators reported an application of the active ingredient on the specified crop. The data in 

each table are summarized for a specific group of States, called Program States. The Program 

States designation is specific for each crop and provided in tables within the publication (See 

page 3). 

These distribution tables show the 10th percentile, median, 90th percentile, mean, and coefficient of 

variation (cv) of the reported rates. The 10th percentile is the value below which 10 percent of all 

application rates fall. Thus, only 10 percent of operators reported an application rate for the active 

ingredient on the specified crop that was lower than the 10th percentile value. Likewise, the 

90th percentile is a value for which 90 percent of all applications were at rates lower than this value. 

The median is the midpoint of the distribution with half of the reported application rates higher and 

half lower than the median value. The mean is the weighted average calculated by summing the 

application rate multiplied by the acres applied and then dividing by the acres applied. 

The cv is a relative measure of the variability, expressed as a percentage of the estimate. For a 

specific commodity, the States have different agricultural practices which can lead to a wide range 

of pesticide usage rates. These ranges can lead to higher cv rates for different active ingredients. 

Some active ingredients are only applied in one manner resulting in smaller cv=s, while other active 

ingredients have more varied agricultural uses which will have larger cv=s. Please see the Survey 

and Estimation Procedures and Reliability sections for more information. 

 

The Number of Applications, Rate per Application, and Rate per Crop Year distribution tables are 

calculated using data only from reports where the farm operator applied the active ingredient. Data 

presented in the Percent of Acres Treated table account for all operations in the sample producing 

the target commodity, whether or not the listed active ingredient was applied.

This page intentionally left blank. 
Integrated Pest Management Practices - Highlights 

Rice: No-till or minimum till practices were incorporated on 38 percent of the rice acreage in the 

prevention of pests, while 57 percent of the planted acreage was rotated with some other crop(s) to 

avoid pests. Scouting for weeds was used on 97 percent of the farms growing rice and on 

98 percent of the rice acres. 

Soybeans: To prevent pests, 75 percent of the soybean acreage was under no-till or minimum till 

production practice. In addition, 86 percent of the soybean acreage had been rotated with some 

other crop(s) to control pests. Ninety-one percent of the soybean acreage was scouted for weeds, 

and the scouting was performed by the operator, partner, or family member on 85 percent of the 

farms. 

Durum wheat: To aid in the prevention of pests, 85 percent of the farms utilized no-till or 

minimum till practices. Additionally, 48 percent of the farms cleaned implements after field work 

to prevent the spread pests. Of the durum wheat acres in the two surveyed States, 38 percent was 

planted to a crop variety resistant to pests. Scouting for weeds, insects, and diseases took place on 

97, 68, and 68 percent, respectively, of the durum wheat acres. 

Other spring wheat: No-till or minimum till practices were utilized on 69 percent of the other 

spring wheat farms to aid in the prevention of pests. In addition, 50 percent of the other spring 

wheat acres were planted to a crop variety resistant to pests. Scouting for weeds, insects, and 

diseases took place on 96, 68, and 74 percent, respectively, of the other spring wheat acres. 

Winter wheat: To aid in the prevention of pests, 54 percent of the winter wheat farms utilized 

no-till or minimum till practices. In addition, 41 percent winter wheat acres were planted to a crop 

variety resistant to pests. Scouting for weeds, insects, and diseases took place on 80, 64, and 62 

percent, respectively, of the winter wheat acres. 

Prior to the 2006 surveys producers of soybeans, durum wheat, other spring wheat, and winter 

wheat were last asked about their pest management practices in 2004. Rice producers were last 

surveyed in 2000.

Survey and Estimation Procedures

Survey Procedures: Data for rice, soybeans, organic soybeans, durum wheat, other spring wheat, 

and winter wheat were collected on two 2006 surveys, the Agricultural Resource Management 

Survey (ARMS) and the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP). 

Data collection for the ARMS and CEAP surveys occurred during the months of September 

through December 2006 and only those CEAP samples that matched the ARMS crops and states 

were included. Data collection and sampling procedures were similar for both the ARMS and 

CEAP surveys. ARMS screening samples were drawn from the NASS List Sampling Frame. This 

extensive sampling frame covers all types of farms and accounts for approximately 90 percent of all 

land in farms in the United States. 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 2006. 

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 rice, soybeans, organic soybeans, durum wheat, other spring wheat, or winter wheat was 

selected, one field was randomly chosen 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. The CEAP was a nationwide, area-based sample survey based on the Natural 

Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)National Resources Inventory (NRI) points. CEAP 

samples which reported a commodity of interest which matched the ARMS commodities were 

combined with the ARMS data for use in this publication. 

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 ACrop Production - 2006 Summary@ [Cr Pr 2-1 (07)] for rice, 

soybeans, durum wheat, other spring wheat, and winter wheat. 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 Program 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 percent 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, which 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 a commonly used active ingredient such as Glyphosate 

isopropylamine salt will exhibit less variability than a rarely used chemical. A commonly used 

active ingredient is defined as an active ingredient used on at least 40 percent of the acres planted 

for a crop at the Program State level. For these active ingredients, cv=s range from 1 percent to 

10 percent at the Program State level and 1 percent to 52 percent at the individual state level. 

Active ingredients that are less frequently used have cv=s that range from 2 percent to 70 percent. 

Non-sampling errors can occur in complete censuses as well as sample surveys. They are caused 

by the inability to obtain correct information from each person surveyed, differences in interpreting 

questions or definitions, and mistakes in coding or processing the data. Special efforts are taken at 

each step of the survey to minimize non-sampling errors. 
Agricultural Chemical Usage 2006 Field Crops Summary Agricultural Statistics Board 

May 2007 112 NASS, USDA 

Terms and Definitions

Active ingredient: The specific chemical which kills or controls the target pest(s). 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 salt and acid equivalent. 

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 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. 

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. 
Cultivar: 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 to be a farm. 

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 also excludes all land operated by establishments not qualifying as farms. 

Mechanism of Action (MOA): The method/biological pathway the pesticide uses to kill the pest. 

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 2006, 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?) 
Agricultural Chemical Usage 2006 Field Crops Summary Agricultural Statistics Board 

May 2007 114 NASS, USDA 

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: 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.
