Abstract: Pesticide supplies for 1976 are ample for nearly all products. Pesticide production is up 10 to 15 percent over last year, and supplies have increased even more because of substantial gains in beginning-year inventories. Prices to dealers are up slightly, but prices to growers are steady to a little below last season. With increased capacity and with few production problems anticipated, supplies next year also should be generous. Supply estimates are based on surveys of pesticide producers and distributors. Demand estimates are based on farmers' 1976 planting intentions and data on pesticide use patterns.
