Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) -- IRAC is prolonging the effectiveness of insecticides, acaricides and traits by implementing insecticide resistance management strategies, countering the development of resistance in the three core sectors of traditional Crop Protection, Plant Biotechnology and Public Health.
Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) -- Fungicides have become an integral part of efficient food production. The loss of a fungicide to agriculture through resistance is a problem that affects us all. FRAC works to prolong the effectiveness of fungicides liable to encounter resistance problems and to limit crop losses should resistance appear.
Rodenticide Resistance Action Committee (RRAC) -- The Rodenticide Resistance Action Committee (RRAC) is a working group within the framework of the Global Crop Protection Federation. Participating companies include: BASF AG, Bayer CropScience AG, Liphatech S.A., Rentokil Initial plc, Sorex Limited, and Syngenta AG. Senior technical specialists, with specific expertise in rodenticides, represent their companies on this committee.
Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) -- The Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) is an international body founded by the agrochemical industry as part of the GCPF organization. The aims of HRAC have the general purpose of supporting a cooperative approach to the management of herbicide resistance. HRAC is keen to support the establishment of a worldwide herbicide resistance database. With this aim in mind, HRAC is supporting the worldwide survey of resistant weeds initiated by the Weed Science Society of America. The International Survey of Herbicide-Resistant Weeds is being conducted by Ian Heap and is located at http://www.weedscience.com/.
