In 2006, the Wisconsin Agriculture Statistics Service (WASS) and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) completed a major pesticide use survey for the 2003-2005 growing seasons. This survey was conducted and reported so that it can be compared to previous pesticide use surveys (major surveys in 1985, 1990 and 1996 and annual summaries in 1991-2006). DATCP intends to conduct a major pesticide use survey approximately every 5 to 10 years so that long term trends in pesticide use in Wisconsin can be identified and studied. The survey report contains a wealth of information on pesticide use in Wisconsin.
