Pesticides application rate maps in the European Union at high spatial resolution

<p dir="ltr">The dataset provides spatial distribution for the application rate of pesticides in the European Union. Data are provided for 53 active ingredients (ais). The analysis is grounded on the PEST-CHEMGRID dataset. The analysis focuses on the European Union and refers to year 2018. Maps are provided at 250 m resolution and employ a EPSG:3035 coordinate reference system. The dataset includes the following items:</p><ul><li>Maps of pesticides ais application rates in [kg/ha], including high, median and low scenarios</li><li>Accuracy indices maps for each considered ai</li><li>Codes and data to reproduce steps 4-7 of the procedure</li></ul><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">The dataset is related to the following paper</p><p dir="ltr">Porta, G.M., Casse, L., Manzoni, A., Riva M., Maggi, F., Guadagnini, A., Pesticides application rate maps in the European Union at a 250 m spatial resolution. <i>Sci Data</i> <b>12</b>, 725 (2025).</p><p dir="ltr">https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-05031-7</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p>
