Improving agricultural information services of small island nations in the Pacific region. A regional plant protection information system will insure that the non-conventional documents that are so valuable to agricultural researchers are not inadvertently lost.

Walton P.
The results of agricultural research in the Pacific region, spanning some 70 years, are mostly published in a non-conventional form and not easily accessed. A program to collect, document and disseminate the information of plant protection is underway, utilizing recent opportunities afforded by advances in computer technology. Several different types of database will be established: for example, bibliographies of Pacific literature, results from pest and disease surveys, and index to agricultural journals published in the region, and a database of pesticide use. The regional plant protection information service will enhance national capabilities through training in database manipulation, ultimately to improve plant protection within the region.
