Pesticide Aid OR Pesticide Assistant
Bangladesh
Pesticide Assistant is an initiative to provide a database of approved pesticides in a mobile app format. The app helps users identify which companies market pesticides under various commercial names. Farmers can also find crop-specific application rates for specific pesticides. The unique agricultural pesticide number (AP number) assigned to each approved product can be verified, making it easier to detect counterfeit pesticides. This app includes (1) a list of deprecated pesticides and (2) a list of organic pesticides approved for safe crop production.
