Madrid, 2 July 2012www.nap-pflanzenschutz.de/en Present situation in plant protection in Germany: Treatment indices [Source: Reference Farms Network. Annual Report. Freier et al. 2011] The Treatment index (TI) is used as indicator of the intensity of pesticide uses. It considers dose reduction in proportion to the authorised one and partial field application of each pesticide. For example, authorised dose in entire field means TI = 1.0, half dose in entire field TI = 0.5, and half dose in half field TI = In tank mixtures, pesticides are separately counted.
