Dialog Partners with CABI Publishing

CABI Publishing has recently launched a new Web site (www.ICMfocus.com), entirely devoted to integrated crop management (ICM). ICM is a way of limiting the damaging impact of some farming practices on the environment, while achieving good crop health and maximum yields, and ensuring long-term agricultural sustainability.

At the heart of ICMfocus is a database of over 900,000 research summaries. Drawn from CABI Publishing's world renowned CAB ABSTRACTS® (Dialog File 50), the records cover the past decade of research in all aspects of ICM, including integrated pest management and biocontrol, cropping systems, soil cultivation, crop nutrition and sustainable crop production. Key scientific publications from around the world, in more than 40 languages, are reviewed by in-house subject experts, who take only the highest quality and most relevant research to create easily digestible, comprehensive summaries.

Using a simple to use, pay-per-record searching facility provided by Dialog,CABI's technology partner, database searches are offered completely free of charge, giving the opportunity of paying only for the summaries required. Once a search term has been entered, the user is given a list of matching results of record titles and users enter their Dialog account number or credit card details for immediate desktop access.
