Where can I get information on the pesticides registered for special crops?
One of the best sources for this is http://www.eddenet.pmra-arla.gc.ca/4.0/4.01.asp which is a search database where you put in the crop and the database will give you the registered pesticides. Keep in mind that most special crops entered will not give results, as there are generally no chemicals registered. They are in effect organic by default as far as pesticides go. This means it is illegal to use any pesticide product on most special crops. For any organic information that is available click on the following, http://www.organics.com/. There are also production guides available for the more established crops, like ginseng, tree fruits and vegetables. For a listing of the guides available, from where and the cost, go to http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/cropprot/prodguide.
