Abstract: According to a 1979 Vegetable Pesticide Survey, nearly 1.3 million pounds of pesticides were used to control weeds, insects, fungi, and nematodes on seven vegetable crops in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. The seven vegetable crops included cabbage, carrots, green peas, lettuce, onions, snap beans, and sweet corn. Approximately 671,000 acre-treatments were made ranging from 255,000 for sweet corn to 1,800 for cabbage.
