Effects of reduced pesticide use on flora and fauna in agricultural fields

Table 1.1.
Summed treatment intensity index for herbicide and insecticide applications at normal dosage. Herbicides are divided in products against broad-leaved species and products against grasses (Elymus repens and Avena fatua). "Target 2002" indicates the goals set up in Pesticide Action Plan II.
