Dehesa Index brings together 14 “Manure and environment” series for Germany, with official data and its history (since Jan 2006, latest 2024). Each value is shown as the source publishes it, not converted or recalculated.
In brief
In their latest reading, 6 of the 14 series rose, 6 fell and 2 were unchanged against the previous observation. The largest rise is “Pesticide sales: Categories A and C, non-chemical active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” (+97.7 %, 2024); the largest fall, “Pesticide sales: Group 4, non-approved active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” (−22.3 %, 2024). Against the same period a year earlier (14 comparable series), “Pesticide sales: Categories A and C, non-chemical active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” rose most (+97.7 %) and “Pesticide sales: Group 4, non-approved active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” fell most (−22.3 %).
