PestNet is a community based project with a particular focus on providing information and advice to plant protections researchers, advisors and farmers.
PestNet is an email network that helps people worldwide obtain rapid advice and information on crop protection, including the identification and management of plant pests. It started as a service for the Pacific, rapidly expanded to South East Asia, set up a separate service for the Caribbean, and now welcomes anyone interested in crop protection anywhere in the world. It's free to members.
The PestNet website provides details about joining PestNet, sending messages, and summaries of PestNet messages associated with crops, pests, non-pests and unidentified problems. There are also links to Pest Fact sheets for farmers and for extension agents.
