According to recent estimates, homeowners and lawn care companies together apply as much as 70 million pounds of pesticide active ingredients to lawns each year. To put this number in perspective, about 12 times that amount, or roughly 815 million pounds of pesticide active ingredients, are used annually in U.S. agriculture. Both commercial and homeowner markets for lawn care chemicals, which includes both pesticides and fertilizers, are growing at approximately 5% to 8% per year in dollar value.
