About the statistics
The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 5 December 2023.
Agricultural holding
A single unit both technically and economically, which has single management and which produces agricultural products. The holding is independent of municipality boundaries. The agricultural holding's headquarter must be located to an agricultural property.
Plant protection product
Substance whose purpose is to protect against or hamper attack on plants from harmful organisms, like animal pests, fungi and weeds, which cause harm to living plants, parts of plants or seed. Pesticides also include inter alia growth regulators and substances that kill parts of a plant.
The survey does not include pesticides used for staining of seeds or juvenile plants before they are planted out.
Agricultural area in use
Agricultural land that is harvested at least once during a year, including planted area of permanent crops, where no harvest has been produced so far. Includes also arable land included in the crop rotation system with no intention to produce a harvest during the year, but which will be harvested the next year.
Plot
A plot of land is the part of a field (or its entirety) used for a specific crop or a combination of crops.
Spot spraying
Spraying of part of plot, borderlines or against a particularly pest, e.g. nortern dock.
Meadows and pastureland
Includes cultivated and surface-cultivated meadow for mowing and pasturing including infield pasture.
Grain and oil-seeds
Includes barley, oats, spring wheat, winter wheat and oil-seeds. The survey does not include rye and triticale.
Taxes on pesticides
The taxes on pesticides consist of environmental taxes and control taxes.
Treated area
The basic area treated defined as the physical area of the crop treated at least once with a given active substance or group of substances, independently of the number of applications.
Gross treated area
The aggregate area of all repeated applications of any given plant protection product or group of plant protection products.

Article / 27 September 2016Reduced use of chemical pesticides on greenhouse vegetablesIn 2015, biological control agents were applied to 90 per cent of the area of edible crops in greenhouses, while chemical pesticides were used on less than 30 per cent of the area. Within ornamental plants, the corresponding shares were 31 and 83 per cent respectively.
