That list only seems to include foliar applications.  Or chemicals
purchased for injection or chemigation.  The seed treatments put on by the
seed companies do not seem to be included.  So, corn does not even show up
on the list for clothianidin and for imidacloprid.  Zero pounds applied in
California are documented.  Same when you look for soybeans under either
systemic.  Since that list is supposed to be a comprehensive documentation
of pesticides going into the California environment (661 pages, my computer
had trouble handling it) the fact that amounts put on seed by the seed
companies is not included is troubling.
