Pesticide use values for 2004 compared to peak usage data for the period 1992 through 2004 demonstrate a 75% reduction in the application of restricted or “Danger”-labeled insecticides in fresh market tomato. Paraquat use was reduced by 31%. Fumigant use (17% reduction) was mainly influenced by rate reduction, rather than reduction of use (1-7).
