The Plant Production and Protection Division established or currently maintains the following specific databases/information systems:
On-line database of pasture/forage resources in more than 80 countries
Identify a suitable crop for a specified environment, identify a crop with a specific habit of growth, identify crop for a defined use or look up the environmental requirements and uses of a given crop.
A tool with the aim to foster the implementation of the Global Plan of Action by providing access to a wide range of information, including funding sources, regarding activities in the field of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA). The portal offers a set of databases with information on funding programmes, projects, institutions and networks, germplasm databases and sources of information.
Database with statistics on fertilizer use by crop for selected key years in selected countries
The Global Partnership Initiative for Plant Breeding Capacity Building (GIPB) is a multi-party initiative of knowledge institutions around the world that have a track record in supporting agricultural research and development, working in partnership with country programmes committed to developing stronger and effective plant breeding capacity.
This trilingual on-line glossary, based on the publication "Integrated Nutrient Management-A Glossary of Terms" is intended to extend the access to a wider number of beneficiaries. The various terms and phrases included in this glossary are related directly or indirectly to INM. These cover various aspects of plant nutrition, mineral fertilizers, organic manures, recyclable wastes and biofertilizers. The coverage encompasses the broad disciplines of agronomy, soil science, resource management, plant physiology, microbiology, trade, economics and extension.
Allows searches of more than 600 grass and forage legume species by genus, Latin name and common name
The site featuring a country-driven and flexible process to share information on the implementation of the Global Plan of Action among a wide range of national stakeholders, aiming to improve the efficiency of resource utilization. It includes a list of indicators for monitoring the implementation of GPA at country level, a questionnaire based on such indicators, and a computer application aimed to facilitate and simplify data recording, processing, analysis and sharing of the information addressed by the questionnaire
Database providing information for a number of countries on crop-wise plant nutrients management at administrative (district) level, supported by relevant data on soil and soil management, agro-ecological zones, and crop production constraints.
Database on performances of horticulture cultivars in relation to agro-ecological conditions, cultivation practices, the occurrence of pests and diseases and timing of the production.
A service provided by the Locust and Other Migratory Pests Group to monitor the world-wide locust situation and keep affected countries and donors informed of expected developments.
Database allowing for the extraction of yield data per agro-ecological zone for the main food crops in a specific country. The extracted data enable the estimation of fertilizer input- and crop output ratios for projection of future fertilizer application to support increased crop yield targets.
The World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS) on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA), has been established by FAO as a world-wide dynamic mechanism to foster information exchange among Member Countries, by gathering and disseminating information on PGRFA, and as an instrument for the periodic assessment of the state of the world's PGRFA.
