An updated version of the 2003 North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals Manual, a guide to safe and effective use of agricultural chemicals, is now available on compact disc.

The Agricultural Chemicals Manual is published each winter and updated each spring by faculty in North Carolina State University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Though the updated edition is available on the Web at http://ipm.ncsu.edu/agchem/agchem.html, this updated version on CD offers advantages.

The CD provides quicker access to this updated information without Internet access from any computer with a CD drive. Instead of carrying the entire printed manual, chemical users can print out the pages they need. The CD will run in Windows 95 and higher or Mac OS 10.1 and higher. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required.

To order the updated 2003 North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals Manual on CD, send a check for $12, payable to N.C. State University, to Publications, Communication Services, Box 7603, N.C. State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7603.
