Extended Data Fig. 2

From 1994 to 2015 the usage of organophosphates and carbamates decreased, while the usage of neonicotinoids increased rapidly, and the usage of pyrethroids remained constant. The total kg of pesticide use was summed by year and type of insecticide, where A. shows the raw sum, while B. shows the sum log-transformed. The compounds aggregated were the following: Neonicotinoids: Acetamiprid, Clothianidin, Dinotefuran, Imidacloprid, thiametoxam, Thiacloprid; Pyrethoids: Cyfluthrin, Cyhalothrin-Gamma, Cypermethrin, Deltamethrin, Fenvalerate, Fluvalinate, Fluvalinate Tau, Permethrin, Resmethrin, Tefluthrin, Tralomethrin; Carbamates: Carbaryl, Carbofuran, Methomyl, Oxamyl, Thiodicarb; Organophosphates: Azamethiphos, Azinphos-Methyl, Chlorpyrifos, Diazinon, Dichlorvos, Fenitrothion, Malathion, Methyl Parathion, Parathion, Phosmet, Tetrachlorvinphos; Other: Abamectin, Acephate, Chlorethoxyfos, Diazinon, Dimethoate, Fipronil, Pyridaben, Sulfoxaflor.
