Internet Sites for Information on Pesticides and Pest Management
There are hundreds of Internet sites that provide information about pesticides and pest management. Not all are equally reliable or useful. National and international regulatory agencies are the best source of information about pesticides. Some of the best sites on IPM are sponsored by universities and international and national agencies with mandates to promote IPM. Below are sites identified by CARE (2003) as particularly useful and stable sites; many offer links to other sites. They are ranked:
| ***** | Not to be missed |
