Supplementary notes
* Hectares of land treated refer to '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 also provides that Cox apples receive on average 17 fungicides, 5 growth regulators, 4 insecticides and 2 herbicides.
