Subscribers to the Irish Farmers Journal website can look up their plant protection products online. The product lists from the Crop Protection Magazine are available on our website.

We of course recommend keeping your Crop Protection Magazine close at hand for the season and know it will come in useful in the quiet season when farmers are filling out records for inspections, but it can also be handy to have at your fingertips in the cab of the tractor or sprayer.

So, if you’re about to fill the sprayer or are heading in to purchase a product and need to double check the name or find the rate you can access the lists on your phone. You can search by product type, product name, crop or active ingredient.

You can scan the QR code on page to bring you to the search engine. The lists will appear in front of you and you can search through or simply fill in one or all of the drop-down options.

Active ingredient

For example, you might be looking for a herbicide and know the active ingredient is fluroxypyr, but you don’t know the name of the product and want to check what crops it can be used in then the search engine will bring up a list of fluroxypyr based products with all the details on crops, rates and buffer zones.
