AGRIS
AGRIS is the international information system for the agricultural sciences and technology, created in 1974, to facilitate information exchange and to bring together world literature dealing with all aspects of agriculture. AGRIS is a cooperative system in which participating countries input references to the literature produced within their boundaries and, in return, draw on the information provided by the other participants

ECOCROP
Ecocrop can identify plants for a specified environment, with a specific growth habit and for a defined use. The user enters local environmental data such as temperature range, rainfall, soil characteristics etc., defines the growth habit required (climber, prostrate etc.) and use - such as food or medicinal and searches the database for a list of plants adapted to the parameters set
