Abstract: In 1979, grape growers in Pennsylvania and New York applied 496,000 pounds of pesticides (active ingredients) in 234,520 acre-treatments. Of the total quantity, 240,600 pounds were fungicides, 134,300 pounds were insecticides, and 121,200 pounds were herbicides. Approximately 38 percent of the acre-treatments were mixes of insecticides and fungicides. Coefficients of variation were computed for acres treated with specific pesticides and mixes of pesticides.
