7 April 2006 Pest problems solved with a bit of detective work The latest, updated control information has just been made available to past and new purchasers of Garden Detective. Since BCPC launched its interactive CD-ROM Garden Detective in 2003, it has already helped thousands of gardeners and growers solve the problems of pests, diseases and weeds affecting their outdoor fruit and vegetables. It allows them to identify the cause of problems, using easy-to-use keys, numerous pictures, and provides notes on the pests and advices on how to control them. To see these features a demonstration of Garden Detective can be viewed on www.gardendetective.com. With details of over 580 pests, disease and weeds, which affect some 45 UK garden and smallholding crops, Garden Detective will remain useful and comprehensive for many years. Regular web updates enable users to keep up-to-date with information on new control methods, and changes in the products available for gardeners to use – at no extra cost.

If unsure about a weed, pest or disease, gardeners can compare photographs, or select relevant descriptions from a list of keywords, to narrow down identification leading to the answer.
