Descripción
Pesticides are a key agricultural input needed to protect seeds and safeguard crops from unwanted plants, insects, bacteria, fungi and rodents. Geographically and temporally comparable statistics on pesticides use and trade are important for policymakers and researchers to address potential environmental and human health risks and to reduce vulnerability to crop losses from disease and infestation. The methodological work in this paper ensures consistent dissemination of pesticides use data in active ingredients by reconciling time series reported in formulated products.
