Database Section

The Product Database contains details of registered plant protection products and is updated on a regular basis. It can be searched by Product Name, Active Substance or Function/Crop. Non-plant protection pesticides are not included, as the legislation under which they were formerly registered has been replaced. A list of such products that have been notified in accordance with the new biocides legislation is currently being drawn up and they will be included in the database at a future date.

Existing stocks of plant protection products for which the registration has recently expired, been withdrawn or been revoked may in some instances continue to be used.

Information concerning such products can be obtained from the following contact address - pcs@agriculture.gov.ie. Please specify the product or products for which the information is requested.

Introduction of product to the supply chain by manufacturers, importers or their agents after the registration has expired, been withdrawn or been revoked is illegal.
