United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Chemical Usage 1997 Livestock and General Farm Summary April 1999 National Agricultural Statistics Service Ag Ch 1(99) 1997 Agricultural Chemical Use Estimates for Livestock and General Farm Use Overview: The agricultural chemical use estimates in this report are based on data compiled from a survey conducted in the Fall of 1997. All results refer to the on-farm use of pesticides during the 1997 calendar year. Fertilizer use was not included. This report provides pesticide use information on segments of agriculture not previously collected by National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Prior to 1997, the NASS pesticide use program focused on crop-specific items such as corn, soybeans, apples, lettuce, etc. The data in this report, along with the crop-specific pesticide use data, will enable a more comprehensive look at the total amounts of pesticides used in the United States. Pesticides in this report are defined as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and other chemicals. Pesticides are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and have an EPA number on the container of the product. A pharmaceutical is classified as a drug and is regulated by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). Pharmaceuticals generally target internal livestock pests such as viruses, bacteria, worms and grubs. This report excludes pharmaceutical products that treat livestock for only internal pests. Some products can be classified as either a pesticide or a pharmaceutical because they can treat both external and internal pests. Examples of dual purpose products are Doramectin, Eprinomectin, and Ivermectin. These products can be applied to livestock internally as an injectable or oral, or externally as a pour-on. Livestock species targeted in this survey included cattle, hogs, sheep, equine, and goats. The use of pesticides on goats was collected only in Texas. Equine includes horses, ponies, mules, burros, and donkeys. Domesticated species such as buffalo, emus, ostrich, lamas, etc. were not targeted. Livestock inventories by state, region, and U.S. are reprinted in this report from previous NASS releases. This table is included for informational purposes only. The data in this report cannot be used to calculate rates since the number of animal treatments was not within the scope of the survey. General farm use included buildings and structures, roads, ditches, grain storage facilities, farmstead, and other non-cropland areas. Other non-cropland areas include drainage ditches, irrigation canals, riding areas, feedlots, fence rows, etc. Excluded were pesticide applications to cropland and to residential sites such as home, lawn, and garden. The pesticide use data that was collected on rangeland and pastureland for the 1997 calendar year will be published on May 19, 1999 in the report "Agricultural Chemical Usage - 1998 Field Crops Summary." Sample sizes were adequate to publish data only by region and U.S. level. Although data for pesticide usage on poultry was collected during the survey, it was not published due to too few responses.

Regions: Northeast CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT North Central IL, IN, IA, KS, MI, MN, MO, NE, ND, OH, SD, WI South AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, VA, WV West AZ, CA, CO, ID, MT, NV, NM, OR, UT, WA, WY Alaska and Hawaii were not included in the survey. Highlights Livestock: Agricultural producers applied nearly 2.3 million pounds of insecticides to beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, hogs, equine, and goats during 1997. This does not include applications made to household pets. Equine includes horses, ponies, mules, burros, and donkeys. Most products were applied externally by methods of spray, pour-on, rub, ear tag, and dust. The most commonly used active ingredients on beef cattle in the U.S. were xylene, at 950.9 thousand pounds, and famphur, at 271.7 thousand pounds. Both xylene and famphur are found in Warbex, which is used to control lice, grubs, and flies. Dichlorvos, which is used to control flies, grubs, and lice, was the most commonly used active ingredient on dairy cattle at 85.4 thousand pounds. Butoxypolypropylene glycol was the most commonly used insecticide on other livestock (hogs, sheep, equine and goats), at 31.1 thousand pounds. This is used to control flies. Some active ingredients, such as xylene, piperonyl butoxide, petroleum distillate, and bicycloheptene, are primarily carriers, diluents, synergists, or repellents. These are classified by the EPA as pesticides and are included in this report. General Farm Use: Almost 6.0 million pounds of herbicides, 1.7 million pounds of insecticide, and 177 thousand pounds of fungicide were applied to or around buildings and structures, grain storage facilities, roads and ditches, and miscellaneous areas on U.S. farms. Excluded are applications to home, lawn, garden, pasture or rangeland, and cropland. The most heavily used herbicide was glyphosate at 2.8 million pounds, while sulfur was the most heavily used insecticide at 658.9 thousand pounds.

Survey Procedures: The estimates in this report are based on the Fall Agricultural Survey conducted in December, 1997. This survey is based on a sample of 7,169 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 their entire operation. Estimates are 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 region and across regions 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 are converted to an active ingredient level. The chemical usage estimates in this publication consist of survey estimates of those active ingredients. These data will not be revised even if there are subsequent revisions to livestock inventories. Detailed data within a table may not sum by regions to U.S. totals and may not sum to class totals due to independent rounding of published values. Reliability: The survey was designed so that the estimates are statistically representative of chemical use 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 site of application. 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 glyphosate for general farm purposes other than cropland, 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 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 this survey, 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. Carrier: An inert liquid, solid, or gas added to an active ingredient to make a pesticide dispense effectively. A carrier is also the material, usually water or oil, used to dilute the formulated product for application. Common name: The common name is an officially recognized name for an active ingredient. This report shows active ingredient by common name. Diluent: Any liquid or solid material used to dilute or carry an active ingredient. 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. Pesticides: As defined by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), includes 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. Repellent: A pesticide used to keep target pests away from a treated area by saturating the area with an odor that is disagreeable to the pest. Synergist: A material which exhibits synergism, the joint action of the different agents results in an effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. 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 and NASS does not mean to imply the use of any specific trade name. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
