The use of plant protection products necessitates that they be used in accordance with the rules and requirements of registration, as outlined on the product labels. These tables contain fungicides, herbicides and plant growth regulators for use on cereals, plus insecticides for use on all crops.

The tables include the products that were indicated to the Irish Farmers Journal as being in the Irish market for 2018. However, some specific PCS numbers have been revoked and are in their use-up phase - the use-up dates are shown.

The tables provide essential information on individual products including PCS numbers, active ingredients, crops on which they are cleared for use, application rates, pack size and application windows.

The legend explains the abbreviated description of the main crops.
