The largest rise is “Pesticide sales: Group 1, low-risk active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” (+43.7 %, 2024); the largest fall, “Pesticide sales: Group 4, non-approved active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” (−64.9 %, 2024). Against the same period a year earlier (15 comparable series), “Pesticide sales: Group 1, low-risk active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” rose most (+43.7 %) and “Pesticide sales: Group 4, non-approved active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” fell most (−64.9 %). 2 series are at their lowest on record.

Computed from the series in the table; each keeps its own frequency and unit.
