Bio-Pesticides DataBase (BPDB)
Biopesticides can be described as crop protection products that
have been derived from natural sources. They include naturally occurring chemicals,
pheromones, bacteria, fungi and insect predators. Whilst in many instances the
environmental risks of these substances is considered to be less than that of the more
traditional chemical pesticides this is not always the case. Data to support risk
assessments is scarce and currently there is no single, reliable comprehensive data
source.
The University of Hertfordshire’s is a respected source of
data for both the more traditional agricultural pesticides (PPDB)
and veterinary substances (VSDB). To compliment these
we can now offer the BioPesticide DataBase (BPDB) which
is a comprehensive relational database of data relating to pesticides derived from natural
substances.
