From 2008 the data contained in The e-UK Pesticide Guide will be available at www.plantprotection.co.uk.

The new subscription website will make available everything included in the book and more - and continue to evolve throughout the year.

www.plantprotection.co.uk provides a practical guide to which pesticides, plant growth regulators and adjuvants can legally and effectively be used in the UK. It includes a powerful search functionality that makes it easy to find answers for particular problems or crops, whether on-label or off-label.

www.plantprotection.co.uk contains all the latest products and active ingredients, plus you can perform detailed queries by adding LERAP category, chemical type, supplier or harvest interval to the search.

SOLA data link directly to the PSD website for access to SOLA recommendation sheets. As more and more products lose approval as a result of the EU Review Programme, SOLA information is becoming increasingly important, especially for growers of minor crops, making this a very useful feature. A web link to the PSD database of maximum residue levels is also provided.

The website also contains background information that summarises legislation covering approval, storage, sale and use of pesticides in the UK, including off-label use. And there is guidance on issues such as environmental protection, resistance management and the latest developments following the conclusion of the first 5 years of the Voluntary Initiative programme.
