This map is from the Pesticide National Synthesis Project of the U. S. Geological Survey's National Water Quality Assessment Program.
The pesticide use maps show regional scale patterns in use intensity within the United States and are not intended for making local-scale estimates of use, such as for individual counties. The maps are based on state-level estimates of pesticide use rates for individual crops, which have been compiled by the National Center for Food and Agricultural Policy (NCFAP) for 1991-1993 and 1995, and on county-based crop acreage data obtained from the 1992 Census of Agriculture. Key limitations include: (1) state use coefficients represent an average for the entire state and consequently do not reflect the local variability pesticide management practices found within many states and counties, and (2) the county-level acreage data used to calculate use are based on the 1992 Census of Agriculture and may not represent all crop acreage due to Census non-disclosure rules.
