Detailed information on the extent of pesticide use in the United States, that is on the amounts of pesticides used--by active ingredient, by crop, and by region--is critically needed if the quantitative risks and benefits of pesticide use are to be assessed in light of allied issues of the environment, human health, agricultural production, and economic policy goals. Yet, at present, no comprehensive set of pesticide use estimates exists or is under development at either the federal or the state level. Until this information is available, accurate assessment of the implications of adopting particular pesticide policies will be impossible.
