Abstract: A method and system for supplying agricultural pesticide information and advice combines information regarding a particular pest, and the plant or crop which a user desires to protect from that pest, and generates information regarding which pesticides are suitable for that purpose. The method and system also allow verification of licensing requirements for sales of regulated agricultural products, such as certain pesticide products.

Abstract: A method and apparatus identifies an appropriate gardening based upon user responses to a plurality of inquiries. Inquiries may include location of the gardening need (lawn, vegetable, house, pet, etc.), as well as type of pest (insect, weed, etc.). In a preferred embodiment, the method is practiced as an Internet site that provides the user with the opportunity to purchase identified gardening materials through the Internet. In a preferred embodiment, the gardening materials are identified based at least in part upon the geographic location of the user, which may be specified by zip code, state, region of the country or any combination of these. The product label, which may differ from state to state, is also displayed in a preferred embodiment based upon the state indicated by the user.

Abstract: A method and system for supplying gardening/agricultural information and advice uses an inventory of plant life on a user's property to generate a recommended plant maintenance plan. The method and system may be automated by a computer. The recommended maintenance plan includes recommended gardening materials and a schedule of times or time windows during which the materials should best be applied for all of the various plants. Also, specific instructions may be supplied to the user in a timely fashion as to when and how to apply various gardening materials, as well as exactly which gardening materials should be applied, to the various types of plant life on the user's property. If the user so chooses, the recommended materials may be automatically sent to the user at the appropriate times and an account (e.g., credit card) of the user may be automatically debited accordingly.
