COLEAD Resources

This section brings together technical resources developed by COLEAD. They are designed, updated and disseminated through donor-funded programmes. They are based on specific needs of the horticultural sector in African, Caribbean and Pacific countries. These resources can be used by other agricultural sectors and regions that wish to increase their contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Crop protection database

COLEAD's crop protection database. COLEAD promotes integrated pest management and supports growers in controlling crop pests and diseases, while minimizing potential negative impacts on people or the environment. For the Africa-Caribbean-Pacific horticultural sector, COLEAD's crop protection database enables you to search by crop and active substance to obtain information on Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) that guarantee compliance with current European Union (EU) and Codex Alimentarius Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs).
