Ever needed just toquickly look up a rate for a particular pesticide , or see if it ’s compatible with your bio program , only to get lose on Google or get frustrated by the numerous board in Pub 370 ? Well , me too .
Read on forresources to make accessing pesticide information faster and easierfor Ontario ’s floriculture sphere .
These includea young Mobile River appfor ALL show pesticide , as well as adownloadable spreadsheet you’re able to tailorto your needs .
An snapshot of Health Canada’s new Pesticide Labels App for Droid or Apple phones.
1. NEW Downloadable Insecticide Spreadsheet
Although OMAFRAs Floriculture Production Guide has lots of great information , lets confront it : it`s a bit clunky if you need to quickly reference something .
So , as an other Christmas present to all of you , I ’ve made things easier byamalgamating all the information on registered pesticidesfrom Tables 10.1 and 10.2 into onedownloadable spreadsheet for straightaway point of reference , available here : register - insecticides-2016_omafra_2 - 0
Because this mesa DOES NOT exchange THE LEGAL LABEL , itcontains hyperlinks to the most late recording label available for all productson the PMRA site ( just check that toclick the product NUMBER , not the name ) .
OMAFRA’s Floriculture production guide is available for free downloadhere.
I ’ve also includedinformation on known phytotoxicity , as well ascompatibility with biologic restraint agentsfrom theKoppert , BiobestandBioWorkssites . In both cases , scroll over the cell with red tabs in the cornerto divulge more detailed entropy .
The advantage of this tabular array is two-fold . First , I can update it more often – interlingual rendition containing new pesticide registrations will be regularly posted on the blogandgreenhouseipm.org(under the IPM tab ) . secondly ( and most importantly),this gives YOU – the grower – a place to well make notes on things like efficacywith regards to YOUR particular crop , YOUR greenhouse conditions , and YOUR pestilence universe .
For those of you that plunk up an advanced copy of this spreadsheet at the Canadian Greenhouse Conference , note that this new version has two changes :
Scrolling over cells with red tabs in the corner reveals “comments” with more detailed information. Always refer the label as the definite authority.
I ’m presently working on another tab of the spreadsheet forFungicides , but do n’t expect that to be quick for a few month . extra thanks to Mark Jandricic ( technician , Buitenhuis Lab , VRIC ) for his spreadsheet- wizard help with this project .
2. “Pesticide Labels” Mobile Phone App from Health Canada
Another way toquicklylook up label on your saucy phone , and also salvage them as PDFs for fast reference by and by , is with the“Pesticide Labels ” App from Health Canada .
launch in September , it allows you tolook up product by trade name or active constituent . It ’s usable fromGoogle swordplay , The Apple Store and Amazon Apps .
unluckily , the Health Canada app does n’t contain any entropy on compatibility of pesticides with born enemy . But there are a bunch of other apps than can help oneself with this . Some of these include theAgrobio Side Effects Guide App , theBiobest Side Effects Manual App , The BioLine App , and theKoppert Side Effects App . With some of these apps , once its downloaded , you could reference the database while you are offline , as well .
Hopefully some of these dick , alone or in compounding , will help make your pesticide decisions easier .
