16 Main lessons 1. There is a huge diversity of patterns of non-agricultural uses of pesticides amongst the Member States or even between national regions. 2. Predominant sectors of use can be identified and are common to most Member States : Residential areas (including H&G) Public areas (including golf courses) Industrial areas Infrastructure Forests 3. A restricted list of active substance can be associated to predominant uses. 4. The different sectors of use require different methods of data collection or a combination of methods.
