Database of the Benefits of Pesticides

The database currently contains 84 papers. It brings together in one place a selection of key documents for stakeholders to find out more about the impacts of agricultural pesticides.

The database has been created primarily for use by regulators and policy makers seeking proactive evidence and scientific corroboration of the benefits of using pesticides. It will also be useful for communicators wishing to source facts and figures from scientific reference papers and anyone wishing to research the benefits of pesticides and access supporting information.

All the papers have either been published in peer-reviewed journals or have been prepared by organisations that have summarised peer-reviewed studies. Each paper has been scrutinised to ensure the authors are held in good standing and that appropriate scientific methods have been used.

The list of studies is being continuously added to and updated. Your suggestions for including additional studies are welcome. Please use the form provided by clicking here.
