@SpudSlingsby @tomallenstevens If farmers are all working hard to minimise pesticide use already, why has the number of applications per field increased nearly 100% since 1990? (see https://t.co/7ROIEA3oul, Defra data)

@PeterCowlrick https://t.co/7ROIEAkZlT "By 2015 each hectare of [arable] land received [on average] 3.9 kg of pesticide in 17.4 applications (note that several active ingredients may be applied at once, so this does not mean farmers actually spray fields 17.4 times)." Defra statistics.

@allenscobie @sandrambell That statistic is from a peer-reviewed scientific paper, is there comparable evidence that gives different figures or a published critique of that paper? https://t.co/O5SAVn7AYl

@RobWitherow @Agronomist_bri @Farmer_Tom_UK @GeorgeMonbiot One sentence in two pages is "lots of space"? In any case this is a useful figure, when combined with toxicity data as I have done in my recent peer-reviewed publication https://t.co/7ROIEA3oul,

@essexpeasant @guyshrubsole Pesticide use has increased massively since the 1990s. See Figure 2 here: https://t.co/K8aKshy5kz

@essexpeasant Thanks for this Guy. Have you seen this study by @DaveGoulson on the rise in toxic loads of pesticides for bees, despite the reduction in weight of pesticides applied? https://t.co/fcZZPEUStc
