This document outlines the process of using the National Pesticide Information Retrieval System (NPIRS) on a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for efficient pesticide information management. It covers connection setups such as utilizing wireless access points, modems, and compact flash cards. Users can access critical data through a web browser, search for active ingredients, application sites, and pest control strategies, as well as retrieve EPA registration numbers and product details. This tool is vital for farmers, agronomists, and researchers involved in pesticide regulation and use.
