  This authoritative guide is published annually and contains information on pesticides and adjuvants approved for use in UK agriculture, horticulture, forestry and amenity. It provides a practical guide to the pesticides, plant growth regulators and adjuvants that farmers and growers can realistically and legally obtain in the UK, and describes how they may be safely and effectively used. The CD-ROM includes powerful search functionality with harvest interval data, product LERAP classification and off labels and SOLA data. It is also linked to the regularly updated Leatherhead Food International online database of Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs). The 2006 edition contains all the latest products and actives. Any products not submitted for inclusion in the Guide but which can be legally used until their approval expires can be found in the section on Products Also Registered. The book includes: crop/pest guide index; pesticide profiles; products also registered; adjuvants; supplier listing; and key information for users of pesticides. It is illegal to use any pesticide in the UK unless it is officially approved under current legislation. The UK Pesticide Guide 2006 is an essential reference source for all products approved for professional use in UK agriculture, horticulture, forestry and amenity. It will also be particularly useful for those involved in the current Voluntary Initiative, including the writing of Crop Protection Management plans. For this edition, a new environmental hazard classification has been added to help with the assessment of risk.
