Abstract: According to the 1979 Vegetable Pesticide Survey, nearly 1 million pounds of pesticides were used to control weeds, insects, diseases, and nematodes on seven vegetable crops in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The seven vegetable crops include cabbage, cantaloups, cucumbers, snap beans, sweet corn, tomatoes, and watermelons. About 378,000 acre-treatments were made ranging from 133,000 for tomatoes to 13,000 for cantaloups.
