Abstract: Pesticide use in citrus production for 1977 was estimated for the three citrus producing regions in the United States (Florida, Texas, and California/Arizona). Citrus growers used an estimated 38.4 million pounds of active ingredient in approximately 8.2 million acre-treatments during 1977. Of this U.S. total, fungicides accounted for 5.2 million pounds, insecticides 27.8 million pounds, and herbicides 5.5 million pounds. Florida citrus growers used the largest amount of pesticides for citrus production with 32.5 million pounds followed by California/Arizona with 4.2 million pounds and Texas with 1.9 million pounds.
