Pesticide usage - arable crops and potato stores 2018: survey results
Information from a survey of pesticide use on arable crops and potato stores in Scotland during 2018.
Table 35: Relative standard errors
Relative standard errors (RSE) for the area treated (ha) with pesticide and for weight of active substance (kg) applied
| Area SE (%) | Weight SE (%) | |
|---|---|---|
| Winter barley(1) | 6 | 6 |
| Spring barley | 4 | 5 |
| Wheat (winter and spring)(1) | 5 | 5 |
| Winter oats(1) | 18 | 27 |
| Spring oats(1) | 11 | 13 |
| Winter rye | 44 | 50 |
| Winter oilseed rape | 6 | 6 |
| Spring oilseed rape | 40 | 77 |
| Seed potatoes(1) | 12 | 12 |
| Maincrop potatoes(1) | 12 | 11 |
| Dry harvest peas(2) | NC | NC |
| Field beans(1) | 11 | 16 |
| All Pesticides | 3 | 3 |
(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 the overall RSE values should be treated with caution
(2) Standard errors could not be calculated (NC) for dry harvest peas because there were too few active substances recorded. Therefore estimates for these crops should be treated with caution
