Trends in Use in Reduced-Risk Pesticides

Table 9A. The reported pounds of reduced-risk pesticides applied in California. These active ingredients are contained in pesticide products that have been given reduced risk status by U.S. EPA. Use is given for each year from 1991 to 1998. Use includes both agricultural and non-agricultural applications. Blank entries appear during years before the pesticide was registered. Data are from the Department of Pesticide Regulation's Pesticide Use Reports with probable errors removed.
