Prairie Guide to Crop Protection

Terms of Service

This information contained in this website is intended to be used as a guide only. Information contained herein is that available at time of publication, please refer to the publication date.  While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, the provincial government does not accept responsibility for label changes. When more than one trade name is listed, not all weeds or tank mixes may appear on all labels. Consult product labels attached to pesticide containers for final detailed instructions. Certain recommendations in this publication are given in quantity of commercial product per acre (mL, L, g or kg/acre). Product labels are given in quantity of product per hectare (mL, L, g or kg/ha). To avoid application errors be sure to read and understand label recommendations.

Always refer to the product label for application details and precautions.

The information on www.PrairieCropProtection.ca includes the most recent recommendations for weed, plant disease and insect control in field and forage crops. These recommendations are based on the uses registered under the Pest Management Regulatory Agency’s Pest Control Products Act. It is an offence under The Pest Control Products Act to apply any chemical in a manner not consistent with the product label. If you have any doubts regarding the instructions in this publication, or on the product label, contact the company representative, your local agricultural office or the Pest Management Regulatory Agency for further advice.

Product Labels and PCP Numbers on each Product Page you will see a Registration or PCP number, so named because it is mandated by the Pest Control Products Act. Under the Act, every pesticide requires a unique identifier – the product’s Registration or PCP number. That number must also appear on the product’s label.

The pesticide label packaged with the product is the authoritative source of information on use of the product and will contain more detailed information than is included in this website. Some products have a number of trade names for the same active ingredient. However, each product will have its own registration (PCP) number and these appear next to the registrants’ names.

Users who are seeking more detailed information than is provided in this guide, prior to purchase, can use the Registration (PCP) number to access a sample product label online through the Pest Management Regulatory Agency’s (PMRA) website or they can contact the PMRA Hotline by phone at 1-800-267-6315. Visit http://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/ls-re/index-eng.php to access the Electronic Label Search Tool. The PMRA Product Information database can be searched by a product’s trade name, active ingredient, company name or Registration (PCP) number. Since several products can contain the same active ingredient and there are often several versions of the same or similar labels on this database, using the PCP number is the most direct route to finding the label that links to the product page in this Guide. There may be some differences between a label found on the package and the sample labels found on the PMRA-Label Search web site so always refer to the packaged product label when applying the product.
