Agricultural Chemical Usage, 2000 The 2000 Chemical Use Summaries for Vegetables and Field Crops provide pesticide data on 16 Michigan vegetables and 3 field crops. Vegetable chemical use statistics are published every other year alternating with fruit chemical use statistics. Sugarbeet statitistics are new this year to the Field Crops section. The entire series of chemical usage statistics since 1990 for Michigan and the U.S. can be found on the NASS website at: http://www.usda.gov/nass/ A list of associated trade names is provided following the chemical application tables as an aid in reviewing the data. The list does not mean to imply use of any specific trade name.
