(1) For these crops standard errors could not be calculated for all strata due to insufficient data in the sample, as these strata have not been used in the aggregate totals for the region and the overall RSE values should be treated with caution

(2) Standard errors could not be calculated ( NC) for triticale and dry harvest peas because there were too few active substances recorded. Therefore estimates for these crops should be treated with caution
