About

The Compendium of Pesticide Common Names (BCPC):

Quote

This electronic compendium is intended to provide details of the status of all pesticide common names (not just those assigned by ISO), together with their systematic chemical names, molecular formulae, chemical structures and CAS Registry Numbers®. It is designed to function like a database, with several indexes that provide access to the data sheets.
