Sales of Pesticides and Pesticides Usage in Crop Farming

The Danish Crop Protection Association also collects data about sales of pesticides. However, the material is not suitable for use in connection with the compilation of pesticide statistics as the association only has nineteen members. The statistics can give a rough idea about developments. The statistics are published earlier than data are received from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.

Comparability - geographical
