The agrochemical and MRL databases form the core capability behind the ‘Dog book’, agrochemical and MRL online search functions and agrochemical mobile apps. Redevelopment of the agrochemical and MRL database platforms was completed during the year with a new cloud-based data administration portal and search portal. The agrochemical mobile app also underwent a major upgrade with a new MRL search function added.
