AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine Access) serves as the catalog and index to the collections of the National Agricultural Library, as well as a primary public source for world-wide access to agricultural information. The database covers materials in all formats and periods, including printed works from as far back as the 15th century. The records describe publications and resources encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and farming systems, agricultural economics, extension and education, food and human nutrition, and earth and environmental sciences. Although the NAL Catalog (AGRICOLA) does not contain the text of the materials it cites, thousands of its records are linked to full-text documents online, with new links added daily. ...

The second edition of the "Mansfeld-Verzeichnis , which is a standard source of information on cultivated plants, deals with c. 4.800 species (without ornamental and forestry plants). Now the third, enlarged edition of the book [HANELT, P. (Ed.), in prep.] is nearly finished. It will be published in English and will contain about 6.000 species of cultivated plants as well as many infraspecific taxa. Parallel to the book edition a database version available in the Internet is being developed. For this purpose the electronic text files of the submitted manuscripts are structured and converted into tables, so that they can be imported into a database. These tasks are part of the BIG project (BundesInformationssystem Genetische Ressourcen), which is funded by the BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology). ...

The Oryzabase is a comprehensive rice science database established in 2000 by rice researcher's committee in Japan. The database is originally aimed to gather as much knowledge as possible ranging from classical rice genetics to recent genomics and from fundamental information to hot topics. The Oryzabase consists of five parts, (1) genetic resource stock information, (2) gene dictionary, (3) chromosome maps, (4) mutant images, and (5) fundamental knowledge of rice science. We are planning to do more extensive cross-referencing of Oryzabase to the major DNA sequence database, literature database and other plant databases in order to provide the wealth of information to rice researchers. We are calling for additional mutants and mapped gene information to incorporate into the Oryzabase. Newly identified mutants and mapped trait genes published in the scientific journals will be welcome to integrate into the Oryzabase maps. ... [Information of the supplier]
The PAN Pesticide Database brings together a diverse array of information on pesticides from many different sources, providing human toxicity (chronic and acute), ecotoxicity and regulatory information for about 6,400 pesticide active ingredients and their transformation products, as well as adjuvants and solvents used in pesticide products. This database of active ingredients has been integrated with the U.S. EPA product databases, which provide information on formulated products (the form of the pesticide that growers and consumers purchase for use) containing the active ingredients. The information is most complete for pesticides registered for use in the United States. ... [Information of the supplier]
