Plant protection products; marketing active substance, application groups

This table contains figures on the marketing (placing on the market) of plant protection products by the agrochemical industry in the Netherlands. These funds are sold to and used by industrial sectors such as arable crops, horticulture and industry, local authorities and government units. Plant protection products shall be used to prevent or control harmful diseases, pests or weeds in crops and shall be expressed by weight of active substance present in the products. The amount of active substance (the substance effectively responsible for disease and pest control) has been calculated as a percentage (content) of the plant protection product as a whole, the commercial product. The figures are broken down into six application groups: control of fungi and bacteria (F), control of weeds and foliage killing (H), control of insects and mites (I), control of snails (M), plant growth regulation and germination (PGR) and a category of other plant protection products (ZR). The six application groups or main resource groups are divided into 31 product groups. Each active substance is allocated to one of these application groups. Data available from: 2010 Status of the figures: The figures until 2019 are final. The 2020 figures are provisional. Changes as of 12 April 2022: Changes in marketing data for 4 substances have been received. This works on total 2010-2020, application group F and H 2010-2020 and product group F99 and H99 2010-2020. Application group PGR will only change in 2019. Product group PGR01 only changes in 2019 and Product group H04 only in 2020. Change as at 31 March 2022: The underlying encodings of the classifications used in this table (Application Groups) have been adjusted. These are now in line with the standard encodings established by the CBS. The structure and data of the table have not been adjusted. Changes as at 31 January 2022: Preliminary figures for 2020 have been added. Changes as of 28 May 2021: — International codes have been added to the names of substance groups for a clearer distinction. Changes as of 5 March 2021: — Final figures for 2019 have been added. — In order to better reflect the current authorisation and registration, the figures for 2010-2018 for mineral oil have been improved to paraffin oil. As a result, there is a reduction in the marketing of Other plant protection products, while there is a significant increase in Insects control (classification as paraffin oil). — In order to facilitate comparison of figures nationally, the 2010-2018 figures have now been corrected to include the marketing of microbiological substances. This gives (limited) increases in fungal control and insect control. — Index 2010-2018 has been corrected to nothing (blank) for product groups where there is no authorisation in 2011. When will there be new figures? Final figures for 2020 by main resource group (application group) and by resource group (product group) will be available in June 2022.
