Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to manage different pest related problems in the field of agriculture by combinig biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools in a way that minimize economic, health and enviromental risk. However, information on IPM is not readily available to the end user, a farmer or an extension worker. With the rapid growth of Internet, it is now possible to put the information in electronic format so that users can excess it anywhere anytime. the present investigation was carried out with the idea of developing an Online Pest Management Information System (PMISNET) on major agricultural crops containing information on various aspects of IPM viz., general information, insect/pest, disease and weeds on major crops, IPM strategies etc. PMISNET has a three layer client-server architecture. The software runs on HTTP server and serves the request of the client that may on any computer connected wiht internet and having a graphic web browser. There is provision to browse, insert, update and delete the information through user friendly interface it has in built help and indexing of information to facilitate smooth navigation. For demonstration purpose two crops viz., sugercane and cucurbits are used. More crops can be added in PMISNET for which information on IPM is available.
