For $75 you can get an ag encyclopedia reference and certification tool containing more than 7,000 full-screen images of weeds, insects and crop diseases. Diagnostic keys and graphical taxonomies on the AgExplorer CD-ROM simplify confirmation of weed and insect pests.

Using AgExplorer's training section, you can prepare for Certified Crop Adviser exams and take courses approved for credit by the American Society of Agronomy, American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, and National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants.

The program links users to hundreds of Internet sites with information ranging from weather and satellite images to scientific papers, and provides e-mail links to more than 10,000 ag specialists.

“The CD-ROM contains an encyclopedia on soil and water that we did with the National Resources Conservation Service and one on pesticide management with the EPA,” says David Neubert, company president. “If you're buying the CD-ROM, be sure to order it from the American Society of Agronomy site to get the $75 discount price. On our company site, the regular price is $99.50.”
