✦ Synopsis

The total value of agricultural production in the Ukraine amounts to $30 billion, equivalent to 30% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The annual cost of pesticide inputs is estimated to be $200±225 million. Herbicides and insecticides account for approximately 50% and 30% of pesticide use, respectively. The government has introduced a National Programme for the development of agricultural production over the next ®ve to eight years. The programme envisages an expansion in agricultural production and pesticide use and a continuation of the move towards a free-market economy. Improvements in crop yield and quality will bene®t both the individual grower and the national economy. In the transition to the free-market economy, growers require a clear understanding of present pesticide technology and crop production systems. A major change of attitude is required by all those people involved in providing and using pesticides to ensure that they are used both economically and safely.
