Here is a list of useful web sites. Please contact us if you would like to suggest other informative Internet sources of crop protection advice.

Farmers Weekly Interactive
Working as an integral part of the Farmers Weekly, Crops and Poultry World editorial teams, Farmers Weekly Interactive looks to cater for all the business needs of the UK agricultural sector - farmers and non-farmers alike.

Rothamsted Insect Survey
Online results from the Rothamsted insect survey. Gives early indication of aphid pest pressure. Useful for virus vectors which may damaging at low populations. Particularly for early Peach potato aphid and late Bird Cherry aphid activity when the UK climate can make scouting for them an unpleasant activity.

Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique
Extensive catalogue of European Crop Pests from the French Agricultural Institute INRA. Ideal for students and those looking for detailed information on pest biology. Many images of pests and associated damage to plants. Excellent internal links with an entomological glossary. Very useful information on host plants and life cycles but beware that common names might be credited to different species to those found in the UK. Also note that periods of insect activity in a continental climate may be different to the UK.
