Alberta Environment undertook the collection, consolidation and analysis of pesticide sales data from pesticide vendors in Alberta in 2008. The objective was to document the volume and types of pesticides sold in Alberta, and to prepare a general overview of the sales data in relation to sectors of use, types of use, chemical groupings, detailed active ingredient sales, as well as geographic breakdowns by river basin, natural region, land use framework region and rural municipality. This project is part of an ongoing pesticide sales survey that reports on provincial pesticide sales every 5 years.
