PESTICIDE
SURVEY
STATISTICS
2022 REPORT
INTRODUCTION
This publication contains estimates for specific pesticides used in Maryland during calendar year 2022. Published
estimates include the combined pesticide usage of farm operators, certified private pesticide applicators, and
commercially licensed businesses and public agencies.
All data were compiled by the Maryland Field Office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) in
cooperation with the Pesticide Regulation Section of the Maryland Department of Agriculture. Staff of the Pesticide
Regulation Section provided technical assistance in survey planning and analysis of final summary tabulations. NASS
completed data collection and summarization, with access to record level data limited to NASS office personnel. All
record-level data collected by NASS are confidential and protected by Title 7 of the U.S. Code.
Methodology
A survey was conducted in 2023 to estimate the amounts and types of pesticides applied in calendar year 2022 by
Maryland farm operators, certified private pesticide applicators, commercially licensed businesses, and public agencies.
The survey consisted of a sample of 1,500 farmers, 2,798 certified private applicators, 1,368 commercially licensed
businesses, and 264 public agencies permitted to apply pesticides. Lists of certified applicators, businesses, and public
agencies were provided by the Pesticide Regulation Section of the Maryland Department of Agriculture. The farm
operator sample was selected from a comprehensive list of farm operators maintained by NASS.
Questionnaires were mailed to all sampled operations, businesses, and agencies, with a reminder postcard mailing and
second questionnaire mailing to non-respondents occurring in June 2023. Responses were received from 656 (43.7%)
of the sampled farmers, 277 (20.2 %) certified private applicators, 883 (31.6%) commercially licensed businesses, and
101 (38.3%) public agencies. Response was voluntary and not required by law.
Data were reviewed for completeness and accuracy and all amounts reported were converted to pounds of active
ingredient. Following questionnaire review, data were keyed and summarized utilizing SAS statistical software and data
analysis was conducted by NASS statisticians. Active ingredients were totaled and expanded to the State level based
solely on the population of each sector, final sample sizes and survey response. The population assumed to represent
total usage of the target populations.
Results
Pesticide active ingredient estimates are published only when there were a sufficient number of reports and/or amounts
applied. Active ingredients reported without sufficient number of reports or amounts less than one pound is listed on a
separate table with a total amount estimated. Published data are listed in descending order by pounds of active ingredient
and in alphabetical order. The top 20 pesticides (in terms of total pounds), the top 10 pesticides by county, the top 10
pesticides by season, the top 10 pesticides for certain targeted crops, the top 10 by class (insecticides, herbicides,
fungicides, and other) are provided in separate tables. Common formulation and type for pesticides published
comparisons tables are also provided.

AND, SURVEY

Dear Reporter:
I am writing to request your participation in the enclosed Maryland Department of Agriculture
(MDA)/USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) - Maryland Field Office 2022 Pesticide
Usage Survey. MDA and NASS have conducted nine similar pesticide surveys between 1985 and 2020.
This survey is the only comprehensive measure of pesticide use in Maryland and helps MDA develop
the most appropriate programs for Maryland farmers and pest control operators.
With your cooperation, this survey will also provide information necessary for rational decisions
regarding pesticide usage, laws, and regulations. The survey results provide a reliable source of public
information for all members of our industry, as well as for industry representatives working with policy
makers at the State and national levels.
Please complete the enclosed survey and the recertification for credit information form and return it to
NASS according to the instructions provided. Pesticides are a major input in the production of
agricultural commodities; however, to keep the costs of using pesticides from exceeding the benefits,
knowledge of the extent of their application is of utmost importance. Eligible applicators that complete
the Pesticide Survey will obtain full credit towards their pesticide applicator certification.
If we do not hear from you by March 10, 2023, we will attempt to contact you to arrange a telephone
interview.
Your participation is crucial, and your responses are confidential. We will never share your name
or the name of your operation. The results of this survey will be available in aggregate form only,
ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified, as required by federal law.
Thank you for your time and your assistance with this important project. If you have any questions
about this survey, please contact Shareefah Williams at shareefah.williams@usda.gov or 301-3478179.
Sincerely,
Joseph Bartenfelder, Secretary
Maryland Department of Agriculture
A REMINDER ABOUT YOUR
2022 PESTICIDE USE SURVEY
United States Department of Agriculture
National Agricultural Statistics Service
Make your voice
heard!
The Maryland Department of Agriculture’s
Pesticide Regulation Section, in cooperation
with USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS), has been periodically
conducting a voluntary pesticide use survey
since 1983. We are conducting a survey
for calendar year 2022. Although this is
a voluntary survey, we urge everyone to
participate. By completing this survey, you
will help the Department to collect valuable
information on the pesticide products used
in Maryland. This will help the Department
to ensure your pesticide products are
registered for use in Maryland, to better target
water quality surveys, and to inform sound
regulatory decisions about pesticide products.
Please complete the survey and mail it back
by March 10, 2023.
Thank you for your participation.

For more information on how we protect your information please visit: https://www.nass.usda.gov/confidentiality. Response is voluntary.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB number is 0535-0273. The time required to complete this information collection is
estimated to average 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the
data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

WHY SHOULD I RESPOND TO THIS SURVEY?
The Maryland Pesticide Survey has been conducted since 1985, this survey is the only comprehensive measure of pesticide
use in Maryland. The results from the survey helps the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) develop appropriate
programs for Maryland farmers and pest control operators. This survey also provides information necessary for rational
decisions regarding pesticide usage, laws, and regulations. The survey results provide a reliable, source of public
information for all members of our industry, as well as for industry representatives working with policy makers at
the State and national levels.
Eligible applicators that completed the 2022 Pesticide Survey obtained full credit towards their pesticide applicator
certification. Plans are in place to offer this incentive again for the next survey cycle. The National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) is committed to preserving the confidentiality of respondent’s identities by protecting
information that could be used to identify individual respondents. The results of this survey will be available in
aggregate form only, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified, as required by federal
law. For more information about NASS’s confidentiality Pledge please go to the following website (USDA - National
Agricultural Statistics Service - About NASS - Confidentiality Pledge).
