Web Based Pesticide Services

The Internet has enormous potential to promote safe and judicious use of pesticides.

Precision Agriculture stands to benefit in equal measure.

There are two primary benefits of Agricultural Extension through the World Wide Web.

One is to provide real-time information to farmers.

The other is to follow Zero Based Budgeting for marketing and extension teams.

The Internet is a key resource for farmers in the UK and the U.S. However, poor farmers from the third world and from emerging countries, stand to benefit in equal measures.

The World Wide Web levels the playing field for impoverished farmers.

The Internet supports multi-media inputs, as well as text from a growing number of languages.
