Abstract
AbstractThe usage of pesticides on vegetable crops grown mostly on arable holdings in Norfolk in 1972 is reviewed. During the spring of 1973, visits were made to about 300 holdings which grew vegetables for human consumption in 1972. Of these, 74 holdings were in Norfolk. An analysis has been made of the cropping on the holdings in Norfolk and it was shown that vegetables were usually grown as part of an arable rotation rather than as a mainly horticultural enterprise. The usage of pesticides to control pests, diseases and weeds has been examined for the more important vegetable crops together with the reasons for usage and methods of application. A comparison is made between the usage in 1972 and that of 1969.
