This memorandum transmits an updated Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA) report for the glyphosate case (previously completed in 2007). The usage data in the updated SLUA (2015) are an amalgamation of USDA/NASS and Private Pesticide Market Research data from 2005 to 2014. The new SLUA (2015) shows a decrease in usage, in terms of pounds a.i. and/or percent crop treated on apples, apricots, artichokes, avocados, broccoli, caneberries, cauliflower, grapefruit, garlic, nectarines, oranges, pasture, peaches, pears, pecans, and tangelos. The usage data did not change for cantaloupes, carrots, celery, lemons, oats, green beans, and pumpkins. The new SLUA (2015) shows an increase in usage, in terms of pounds a.i. and/or percent crop treated on the remainder of the SLUA crops.  FULL TEXT
