negotiable tool as it will not only
give essential data on agricultural
remedies but also international residue limit data. The greatest advantage of the AgriIntel Database is
that labels are available on the
website: it requires the user to
search for a particular crop, identify
the pest, disease or weed and then
lock on to the label which is rapidly
downloaded for viewing. Once the
producer has refined his choice of a
set of product he should then interrogate the residue database to
check whether the active ingredients are allowed in the countries of
destination and then finally check
the available crop plans (these are
currently still under construction).
Deciding which pesticide to use to
ensure good crop yields is now a
fairly simple process. It will take a
short time to become acquainted
with the different information resources but once one gets the gist
of it, it is simple to use and can
make life easier and production
much more cost effective.
