1. Pilot survey on using plant protection products was not on the list of Annual working plan of CBS, and it means without legal act!2. Some farmers changed their production plan, used rotation, and didn,t produced cultures we asked data for them3. We have choosen crop year instead of calendar year, what

has made more work than usually, and it is less practical4. For collecting data we use postal method for legal entities – good farms, and interview for family agriculturalfamily agricultural properties – poor farms; the result for collecting data is

better with interview method4. Should we need to collect data on using PPP in glass houses

– for tomato protection– only for one charge, or for whole production during one year?
