Sample fields were randomly selected from growers who reported through the June Enumerative Survey that they had planted or intended to plant grain sorghum in 1980. Each acre had an equal opportunity of being selected so that the probability of a field being chosen was directly correlated to its size. Enumerators contacted 700 operators and obtained 524 valid, completed questionnaires.}, abstract = {In 1980, grain sorghum growers in six major producing States applied 14.8 million pounds (active ingredient) of pesticides in 12.2 million acre-treatments. Of the total quantity, 11.8 million pounds were herbicides and 3 million were insecticides. Coefficients of variation were computed for acres treated with specific pesticides and mixes of pesticides. }, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/333792}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.333792}, }
