New Digital Resources: Plant Management Network
The UCR Libraries now offers electronic access to the Plant Management Network (PMN). The database is a unique cooperative resource for the applied plant sciences, designed to provide plant science practitioners fast electronic access to proven solutions. In addition, the network's four peer-reviewed citable journals, Applied Turfgrass Science, Crop Management, Forage and Grazinglands, and Plant Health Progress, provide credible current information in areas important to practitioners, policy makers, and the public.
In addition, PMN also offers several useful and unique Resources:
A really fabulous searchable Image database of more than 2000 plant and agricultural images: plant and crop disease images can be used for diagnostic comparisons to actual plant samples, and images can be used to create presentations and teaching materials.
Field Trial Reports for fungicide and nematicide tests, biological and cultural tests for control of plant diseases, arthropod management tests, and crop management variety trials.
Plant Science Database is an extensive searchable database comprised of thousands of web-based resource pages from the network's partner universities, companies, and associations; it provides access to plant and agricultural information from a variety of sources, such as fact sheets, newsletters, product lists, training resources, diagnostics, and websites, as well as articles from PMN’s peer-reviewed journals.
