Bio-Pesticides DataBase

Biopesticides are crop protection products derived from natural sources, and include naturally occurring chemicals, pheromones, bacteria, fungi and insect predators. Whilst in many instances the environmental risks of these substances are considered to be less than those of chemical pesticides, this isn't always the case. However, the data needed to support risk assessments for biopesticides is scarce and held at a multitude of locations, so the BioPesticide DataBase (BPDB) from the Agriculture & Environment Research Unit (AERU) at the University of Hertfordshire provides a comprehensive relational database for these substances covering their environmental fate, ecotoxicology and human health implications.生物农药（Biopesticides）是源自天然资源的作物保护产品，涵盖天然存在的化学物质、信息素、细菌、真菌以及昆虫天敌。尽管在多数情形下，这类物质的环境风险被认为低于化学农药，但实际情况并非一概而论。然而，支撑生物农药风险评估所需的数据较为匮乏，且分散存储于诸多不同地点，因此赫特福德大学农业与环境研究部（Agriculture & Environment Research Unit, AERU）所构建的生物农药数据库（BioPesticide DataBase, BPDB），为这类物质提供了一套全面的关系型数据库，涵盖其环境归趋、生态毒理学以及人体健康影响等相关内容。

背景概述

Bio-Pesticides DataBase（BPDB）是赫特福德大学农业与环境研究单位开发的一个综合性关系型数据库，专注于天然来源的生物农药数据，包括天然化学物质、信息素、细菌、真菌和昆虫捕食者。该数据库旨在提供环境归宿、生态毒理学和人类健康影响等方面的信息，以支持风险评估，弥补现有数据稀缺和分散的不足。
