  • The Usda-Ars Pesticide Properties Database: A Consensus Data Set for Modelers

  • The ARS Pesticide Properties Database (PPD) is a compendium of chemical and physical properties of a collection of widely used pesticides. At present, there are 92 compounds in the database and we have focused on 19 of the most important properties impacting on groundwater and atmospheric quality. The PPD relies upon experimentally determined data points. With the help of the National Agricultural Chemicals Association (NACA) we have been communicating directly with manufacturers to obtain the original experimental data with which they characterize pesticide properties and fulfill requirements for federal and state regulations. This provides the basis for the PPD which is augmented with data from the scientific literature. Features of the PPD are: 1. 19 parameters are provided for each pesticide. 2. References are given for all data. 3. When there are several values for a given property, all are cited. 4. All data have been verified and provide the latest, most reliable figures available.
