HotTomato 23rd March 2013	Why are there no stats for the United States?
Odette 10th November 2012	Why are none of the North American countries are listed?
Ed Rose 12th June 2012	Living in Costa Rica, I KNOW the banana and palm plantations use lots of toxic chemicals. Why are Mexico, Cananda and the US not on the list?
Rubén González 20th September 2011	This date set refers to KG per hectare, which is measuring the intensity of pesticide use per every hectare. While in bigger countries massive use of pesticide can be higher than Costa Rica which is here in first place, when you use the indicator that WRI is using, then you can have a better idea on which countries use pesticides more intensively (see the note on how is this indicator measured). kilograms per hectare, is calculated by WRI by dividing the total pesticide consumption, measured in kilograms of active ingredients, by the total hectares of arable and permanent cropland.
Kamol 19th June 2011	Is it up to dated? When was these datas sir?
DIVA & DIVINITA 15th October 2010	Brazil is a massive user, and it is impossible for them not being under the top 10 if not top 5.

RAJESWARAN JAGADEESAN 24th October 2005	Respected Sir, Greetings. We did not get any pesticide consumption data regarding India. I think your classification based on different continets will be more useful than these arrangements. Thanks for your support and asking feedback rajeswaranj@rediffmail.com
