CLEVELAND - Are you looking for a herbicide that controls henbit? Curious about which insecticides are labeled for use on armyworms? Do you need to know if a particular fungicide is labeled for use on St. Augustinegrass?
The answers to these questions and more are just a mouse click away, thanks to the new MSDS/Labels section of Lawn & Landscape Online. This portion of the lawn and landscape industry's No. 1 Web site features the material safety data sheets (MSDS) and pesticide labels for about 200 of the industry's most commonly used pesticide products. This information is all available free of charge and searchable by a powerful database that helps you find the answers to your questions quickly and easily.
In fact, users can search by a number of different criteria, such as:
"We know how important MSDS sheets and labels are to the lawn care and landscape professionals who use these products," commented Cindy Code, group publisher of the Lawn & Landscape Media Group. "We want to make sure that everyone has access to these documents whenever they need them - 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
One common challenge for many green industry companies is maintaining an up-to-date copy of the MSDS sheet and label for each product they stock. The legal problems companies could encounter if they're unexpectedly visited by a state inspector and these documents aren't in the office and in the vehicles carrying these products are severe, and that's why the MSDS/Labels section also include a "My Label Book" feature.
Anyone who signs up with a free My Lawn & Landscape account can save particular labels or MSDS sheets into their label book so they don't have to hunt them down again in the future. All they have to do is return to their saved labels, and everything they have saved there will be immediately accessible, which is a great way to keep track of the documents you need for some of your most commonly used products.
"We're already featuring the vast majority of commonly used pesticide products, and we continue to expand the database with additional products or updated forms," explained Code. "This feature of our Web site is a tool that will help our site users throughout the upcoming season and beyond."
