Fully functional now: The issue tracking on this website is designed in a way to identify trends & developments concerning various issues touching pesticides. It provides an indication on how an issue evolves over time, which active substances are mentioned in what context and sets the basis for a more detailed research if needed. To track these issues related to plant protection products and green biotechnology an independent internet scanning service is used, as well as google alerts on selected keywords. The resulting "bulk" information is then analysed and relevant information encoded either under "pest development" and/or issue tracking.

A rating is assigned to every article (from -2 to +2). This way, not only can past development be seen, but also effects of - for instance - communication campaigns.

Should you have any question or suggestion, please get in touch.

Kind regards,
