FAO : Pesticide Stock Management System (PSMS) [accessed 2020]
Description:
The system provides an on-line database for countries to use in managing pesticide registries, as well as new and old pesticide stocks and storage sites. It aims to (i) allow countries to manage their stocks of pesticides more effectively; (ii) to record inventories of obsolete and usable pesticides and other materials contaminated with pesticides; (iii) to assess the comparative risks of pesticide stores and developing a safeguarding strategy; (iv) to maintain a register of authorised pesticides; (v) to manage the movement, use and disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
The Pesticide Stock Management System allows/helps countries to better manage their pesticide stocks and storage sites, providing safer pesticide management guidance, including registration and application, hence reducing risks and adverse effects to human health and the environment.
