      note = {The Economics and Statistics Service collected pesticide  use data as part of the 1980 Soybean Objective Yield  Survey.  A total of 1,915 farmers were personally  interviewed by enumerators in the 17 major soybean  producing States.  In the Southeast, 310 farmers were  interviewed and the sample size by State was as follows:  Alabama, 80; Georgia, 75; North Carolina, 80; and South  Carolina, 75.},
      abstract = {Farmers reported that 18.1 million pounds active  ingredient (a.i.) of pesticides were applied to soybeans in  the Southeast during 1980.  This consisted of 11.3 million  pounds (a.i.) of herbicides, 5.1 million pounds (a.i.) of  insecticides, 1.4 million pounds (a.i.) of nematicides, and  234,000 pounds (a.i.) of fungicides.  Pesticide  acre-treatments totaled 16.4 million and consisted of 9.7  million with herbicides, 5.8 million with insecticides,  555,000 with nematicides, and 384,000 with fungicides.  The  primary herbicides were alachlor, bentazon, metribuzin, and  trifluralin.  The major insecticides were carbaryl and  methomyl.  Aldicarb and ethylene dibromide were the primary  nematicides and benomyl was the major fungicide.   Herbicides were applied primarily to control cocklebur and  crabgrass infestations, while insecticides were mainly used  for armyworm and corn earworm control.  Anthracnose and pod  and stem blight were the major diseases.  Coefficients of  variation were computed for acres of soybeans treated with  specific pesticide materials.},
