These data were derived by combining published\nstate pesticide use coefficients published by the National\nCenter for Food and Agricultural Policy (NCFAP) and county\nharvested crop acres available from the 1997 Census of Agriculture.\nA description of the methods used to develop the county datbase\nis published in USGS OFR 00-250, \"Method for Estimating Pesticide Use\"\nand is available from: http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/pubs/of/ofr00250.\nMaps showing the geographic distribution of use for 219 compounds\n(BT was not mapped) are available from http://ca.water.usgs.gov/pnsp/.\nThe pesticide use estimates represent average usage patterns\nfor the years 1995-1998 and do not represent a specific year.\nKey limitations of the data include: (1) state use coefficients\nrepresent an average for the entire state and consequently\ndo not reflect the local variability of pesticide management\npractices found within states and counties, (2) pesticide use\nestimates are not for a specific year, but represent typical\nuse patterns for a four year period, (3) state pesticide\nuse coefficients may not have been available for all states\nwhere a pesticide may have been applied to agricultural land\nand therefore are not included, and (4) the county crop acreage\nis based on the 1997 Census of Agriculture and may not represent\nall crop acreage due to Census nondisclosure rules.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P950FXE1", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.435d6613-28eb-491a-8ea3-9568bc56b8c5.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_435d6613-28eb-491a-8ea3-9568bc56b8c5", "keyword": ["Census of Agriculture", "NAWQA", "National Water Quality Assessment Program", "USGS:435d6613-28eb-491a-8ea3-9568bc56b8c5", "agricultural pesticide use", "agriculture", "environment", "fumigants", "fungicide", "geoscientificInformation", "harvested crop acres", "herbicide", "inlandWaters", "insecticide"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-127.977, 23.0933, -65.118, 48.283", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "1997 County Pesticide Use Estimates for 220 Compounds"}
