The 'must have' pesticide guide is now available
Whether you grow fruit or crops, trees or sports turf or are faced with controlling insect or rodent pests, you know that to spray within the law you need to have access to the most up-to-date information on pesticide use.
With a 23 year history of providing comprehensive and valuable information about approved pesticides, plant growth regulators and adjuvants, that can be legally obtained in the UK, The UK Pesticide Guide 2010 is a ’must have’ publication for any advisor, contractor, farmer, grower, groundsman, gardener, local authority or spray operator. The 2010 data are also available through the online subscription resource plantprotection.co.uk.
Featuring over 1,300 products The UK Pesticide Guide 2010 includes three new actives: Bacillus subtilis, cinidon ethyl and spirotetramat, as well as several novel mixtures of existing actives. However, 11 actives and mixtures have been lost since the 2009 edition including isoproturon and trifluralin.
"New for the 2010 edition is information on the products’ UN numbers, packaging and transport codes," says Mr Martin Lainsbury, editor of The UK Pesticide Guide. "This will make it more relevant to people who transport products as well as to the emergency services who may encounter these products in the course to their duties."
Mode of action codes are included to help farmers, advisors and researchers make effective and sustainable product choices to prevent the development of resistance.
The easy-to-access online subscription version – plantprotection.co.uk – offers all that appears in the book plus more. It is regularly updated throughout the year and provides users with the latest product news and developments. The powerful search engine allows customisable searches and there are links to SOLA notices and the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) online database for MRLs.
BCPC and CABI are the joint publishers of The UK Pesticide Guide 2010 which costs Ł43.95. Copies are now available from: BCPC Publications Sales, 7 Omni Business Centre, Omega Park, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 2QD UK. Tel: +44 (0) 1420 593 200 Email: publications@bcpc.org. Credit cards are accepted. Secure orders can also be placed online from the BCPC website on http://www.bcpc.org/bookshop.
For further information and to take out an annual subscription of the online version which is priced Ł60 + VAT, log onto: plantprotection.co.uk.
