Introduction

The Crop Protection Directory was launched as an independent publication by Elaine Warrell and Anne Kirkwood in 1997 and has so far appeared in two UK and two International Editions.    Following their retirement, the publication has been acquired by Agricultural Information Services.

To purchase the online version, or the printed version alone, contact Rod Parker   The online version will be updated continuously during 2005 and 2006.

The International Edition is the only publication that covers all parts of the crop protection industry across the world and tells you 'who does what' in over 2,600 organisations from agrochemical companies to research institutes, donor agencies and others in mainstream crop protection.

We are keeping everything that's made it a respected publication.
In addition, from now on it will provide:

• Names and job titles of top individuals in the organisations
• Facility to search by key word (e.g. function such as marketing director), producing consolidated lists of relevant entries
• Expanded coverage of distributors and formulators
• Increased number of consultants in a wider range of specialisations
• Extensive lists of internet links to other sites (e.g. for product or a.i. data).

• Agrochemicals
• Biotechnology/plant breeding
• Biological control/biopesticides/IPM
• Public health/migrant pests
• Stored crops
• Environment
• Funding agencies.

Each of these specialisations has its own sections covering:

Another complete section is devoted to information sources including scientific societies, market research, commercial and academic journals and regular international conferences.

The Crop Protection Directory is designed for quick access to information. Each entry includes a brief description of the company, organisation or consultant concerned, as well as contact details.

An organisation that appears in more than one section has a main entry with details of all its crop protection interests and a shorter entry on particular specialisations in other appropriate sections. The Crop Protection Directory can thus be used to find organisations operating in particular areas of the industry, or by using the main entry, to check a company's or organisation's overall interests in crop protection.

Entries are succinct and informative: an example is given below. The directory is well indexed and cross-referenced and includes acronyms and abbreviations.

• Online through the internet (unlimited access until 31 December 2006)
• Printed - one copy per subscription issued in November 2004.

As an alternative to the printed version, the Crop Protection Directory is offered on-line with all the advantages of continuous updating. This is managed by Agrobase SARL in France who are experienced in running internet data services in the field of crop protection.

From time to time we all need to know 'who does what' and The Crop Protection Directory is your one-stop publication that provides the answers - and keeps up to date with a fast changing industry all around the globe.
