Pesticide Product Labels And MSDSs
Links to free-of-charge sites on the WWW.
EPA's Pesticide
Label Site
Eventually every label for every product ever registered
and every significant label change will appear on the EPA site. Be certain to
read about limitations of the collection.
State Registrations
NPIRS (National Pesticide Information Retrieval System) at
Purdue University has a free-of-charge site which offers searching for
pesticide products registered by individual States. Very useful.
ISO Approved Common Names
Alan Wood publishes an invaluable site, "Compendium of Pesticide
Common Names". Much more than just names. Updated often, and you can
receive e-mail notices. Make use of. Go to:
Compendium.
ISO has published a revised version,
ISO 257:2004, of its rules
and procedures for "Pesticides and other agrochemicals - Principles for
the selection of common names"
Linked List Of Common Names
Alan Wood has generously provided an HTML file which lists all names as
of 16 February 2006. This file, iso_name.htm, is
arranged alphabetically; clicking on a name will take you to the relevant
page on Alan's site.
I have extracted common names from the above HTML file. This delimited
text file, iso_name.txt, can be Opened/Imported by
spreadsheet/database and then searched.

1506 primary chemical names and all associatted activity
(sub)classifications.

excellent on-line database for identifying products using multiple criteria. In

Anti-Pesticide Action Groups
Every company involved with pesticide products should be aware of what is
being said and done outside the industry. Plus, they often have the first scoop
on what's new in the industry. Here are several source links.
Resistance Action Committees
RACs do more than track developing
resistance to insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. One of their services is
classification of pesticidal actives by chemical type and mode of action. {In
the event you're worried: RACs are sponsored and promoted by major pesticide
registrants.}

Alternatives to Pesticides) site. Inerts in products, obtained via FOIA
