Agricultural Substances Databases

THE PPDB, BPDB and VSDB

Pesticide, Biopesticide and Veterinary Substances properties databases

Welcome of the UH Agricultural Substances Database website; a comprehensive source of data for synthetic pesticides (PPDB), biopesticides (BPDB) and veterinary substances (VSDB). These databases can be accessed via this page. Data for other related substances such as adjuvants, biostimulants and wood preservatives are also available in the PPDB. The PPDB is also available via an IUPAC branded portal. Metabolite data is available via the specific substance record or via the database search facility.

Pesticide Properties Database (PPDB): The main PPDB website that includes chemical identity, physicochemical, human health and ecotoxicological data.
