The Pesticide Manual – new edition published 10 November 2003 The thirteenth edition of the authoritative and independent source of global pesticide information, The Pesticide Manual, and its accompanying, fully searchable CD, The e-Pesticide Manual are now available from BCPC. Edited by Dr Clive Tomlin, the information within this new edition has been completely revised and updated. Since the publication of the previous edition three years ago, the entire data set has been reviewed and brought up to date. The Pesticide Manual now contains 1,469 profiles – 858 main entries and 611 abbreviated entries covering superseded products. In this edition more than 50 new entries have been added, including 30 new synthetic molecules and a further 13 minor substances as well as several more pheromones. Toxicological and physico-chemical data have been revised in line with new data supplied by manufacturers. Classification codes, based on those issued by the Insecticides Resistance Action Committee have also been added, to complement the existing herbicide and fungicide codes. To reflect the changes and further consolidation within the industry, the directory of companies has been totally updated and now lists over 500 organisations. The Pesticide Manual is a valuable reference book for anyone working in the crop protection and agricultural industry. The entries cover key product groups: herbicides, fungicides, acaricides, nematicides, plant growth regulators, herbicide safeners, repellents, synergists, pheromones, beneficial microbial and invertebrate agents plus rodenticides and animal ectoparasiticides. Each main entry contains comprehensive information including chemical structure, nomenclature, mode of action, toxicological data and environmental fate information. Also just launched is The Pesticide Manual’s own dedicated website.
