* The source adds the following information: 'Area treated refers to the active substance treated area. This is the basic area treated by each active substance, multiplied by the number of times the area was treated e.g. A field of 3 ha is treated 4 times with active X. Therefore, the area treated is 12 ha (3x4).'
The source adds the following information: 'Identical results may occur in consecutive years because crops are not surveyed annually. Figures are extrapolated until the next survey for that crop.'
