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]
You would like to know where gene technology has possibly been used on plants and foodstuffs? You will find more information in the TransGen database where there are entries for plants, foodstuffs, ingredients, additives, and enzymes. You can access information about the current status of gene technology for almost all crop plants. You can find worldwide statistics concerning releases of GMO into the environment, and approvals. You can make a picture for yourself, to show the production and processing status of genetically manipulated organisms. At present, the database search is made with a search port in the right-hand sidebar of the project website. ... [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]
With support of the The German Centre for Documentation and Information in Agriculture (ZADI) the BVL offers a free-of-charge internet data base. There are two search forms: The "Standard search" contains all criteria in one form. The "Stepwise search" will prompt the criteria in a defined sequence. The latter is especially recommended in case of slow internet access. The online data base is available in German language only. (...) Plant protection products may be authorised for certain crop species, or a list of several crop species, or for crop groups (sometimes with exceptions). Crop species and groups form a hierarchical structure. When searching in the online database these hierarchical relationships are automatically considered. Thus the search for „wheat“ will find also products authorised for „cereals“ as well as products authorised for „winter wheat“ or „summer wheat“. Note: It is strongly recommended if searching for crops then also to select a field of use (and maybe a function). (...) The result of the search is at first a list of products which fulfil the selected criteria. A click on a trade name opens a data sheet containing general information on the product, whereas a click on an authorisation number leads to a list of the uses of that product. ...

World Economic Plants in GRIN is based on "World Economic Plants: A Standard Reference" (John H. Wiersema and Blanca León 1999). This publication provides essential reference data in a concise and readily accessible format for over 9,500 vascular plants of commercial importance in various parts of the world. It makes available to both scientists and nonscientists up-to-date scientific names for economically important vascular plants. It includes information garnered during more than two decades of nomenclatural research on economic plants by taxonomists of the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ARS). ...

The Internet portal gmo-safety.eu provides up-to-date clear and intelligible information about current and past biosafety research into genetically modified plants in Germany. The focus is on projects supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The sections ‘Maize’, ‘Grain’, ‘Potatoes’, ‘Oilseed rape’, ‘Woody plants’, ‘Monitoring’ and ‘Gene transfer’ provide comprehensive basic information about the key BMBF-funded research areas. A database with summaries of research topics, methods and results (‘Database’) is supplemented by exciting insights into the everyday working lives of researchers (‘Science live’), background reports on individual topics (‘Focus’) and news stories on everything to do with biological safety research both in Germany and at international level (‘News’). The ‘Debate’ section is designed to enliven the discussion about green genetic engineering by offering new perspectives and surprising points of view – this section regularly presents interesting texts on scientifically and socially relevant topics. There is also a glossary with key terms, a photo database and a schools portal (German only) with suggestions for teachers. ... [Information of the supplier]

1923 wurde an der damaligen Landwirtschaftlichen Hochschule in Berlin-Dahlem ein Institut für Bienenkunde gegründet. Nach der Teilung Deutschlands und Berlins wurde das auf Westberliner Territorium gelegene Institut von der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Ost) abgetrennt und der Technischen Universität Berlin (West) zugeordnet. 1952 baute die Humboldt-Universität als Ersatz in Hohen Neuendorf bei Berlin die Abteilung Bienenkunde und Seidenbau des Instituts für Geflügel- und Kleintierzucht auf. Bienenforschung und Bienenhaltung sind mit diesem Standort seitdem fest verbunden. 1970 wurde am Hohen Neuendorfer Standort die Forschungsstelle für Bienenwirtschaft gegründet. Nach Auflösung der Lehr- und Forschungsanstalt für Bienenzucht in Tälermühle (Thüringen) wurden Teile dieses Instituts nach Hohen Neuendorf verlagert und mit Teilen der Abteilung Bienenkunde vereinigt. 1992 erfolgte die Gründung des Länderinstituts für Bienenkunde Hohen Neuendorf durch das Agrarministerium des Landes Brandenburg. Es wird durch die Bundesländer Berlin, Brandenburg, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen projektgebunden gefördert. Schwerpunktthemen: Züchtung gegen Varroatose, Honigforschung, Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung der Bienen als Umweltfaktor, Hochschullehre und imkerliche Beratung. ...

The Former Soviet Union has a rich agricultural heritage. In 2003 our project set out to develop a Russian-English Agricultural Atlas that covers the area of the Former Soviet Union. Scheduled to be completed in 2009, the Atlas will illustrate the historic distribution of economic plants and their pests in this important region of the world. The Atlas is being compiled by a team of Russian scientists who are reviewing historic and current literature, herbarium specimens, and seed and insect collections. The Atlas will be released on a CD-ROM and will be interactive; consisting of maps, biological descriptions, illustrations and reference lists that can be queried and combined with our built-in user-friendly GIS interface. ...

EURISCO is a web-based catalogue that provides information about ex situ plant collections maintained in Europe. EURISCO is based on a European network of ex situ National Inventories (NIs) that makes the European biodiversity data available everywhere in the world. The EURISCO Web Catalogue automatically receives data from the NIs through country NFPs. It currently contains passport data on more than 1.1 million samples of crop diversity representing 1,450 genera and 8,665 species from 38 countries. These samples of crop diversity represent more than half of the ex situ accessions maintained in Europe and roughly 19% of total worldwide holdings. EURISCO is hosted at and maintained by Bioversity International on behalf of the Secretariat of the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR). ...
