Manure and environment — Ireland
Dehesa Index brings together 18 “Manure and environment” series for Ireland, with official data and its history (since Jan 2002, latest 2024). Each value is shown as the source publishes it, not converted or recalculated.
In brief
In their latest reading, 4 of the 15 series rose, 11 fell against the previous observation. The largest rise is “Pesticide sales: Group 1, low-risk active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” (+58.4 %, 2024); the largest fall, “Pesticide sales: Group 4, non-approved active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” (−40.5 %, 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 (+58.4 %) and “Pesticide sales: Group 4, non-approved active substances (tonnes of active substance, Eurostat)” fell most (−40.5 %).
