Abstract: A method and system for managing agricultural product information, and for facilitating the controlled sale, distribution, and use of agricultural products provides a single data entry process for submitting agricultural product registration applications and renewals for a plurality of jurisdictions (states). A single username and password can be used to access a plurality of state databases. State data can be easily cross-referenced and indexed against federal product registration data. Also provided is a system and process of field inspection and enforcement of registration requirements for agricultural products, wherein universal product codes (UPCs) may be scanned into a portable data terminal and be used to check the approval status of a product found in a retailer's store.

Abstract: A security database is provided that receives commodity activity elements in a predetermined format from activity data sources. The commodity activity elements relate to commodity chemicals, commodity products, their inert/active ingredients, and their related events (e.g., the registration, licensing, application, manufacture, disposal, transportation, etc.). Matching logic within the security database is capable of enabling commodity activity elements from one activity data source to be mapped to, or associated with, commodity activity elements from the same or different activity data source. The commodity activity elements may be queried, tabulated, viewed for analysis and monitoring of the events related to the commodity chemicals and commodity products.
