Agriculture equivalent of PubMed? (was: EM Technology? ...)

PubMed shows 145 citations for T. Higa, probably not all of which are for
the individual involved in EM research, but a quick check of the first of 8
pages of those citations showed two journal articles which included the
"Effective Microoganisms" term.

Only two seem to be from the Professor Teruo Higa in question:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entre...&dopt=Abstract

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entre...&dopt=Abstract

Both are related to the so called EM-X which is a by or endproduct of
EM-1 (the "Effective Microorganisms" Technology) and created for human
consumption.

I am generally more interested in EM-1 and its use for agriculture. It
occurs to me that PubMed might only index publications that are
related to human medicine and related research.

Is anybody aware of a equivalent database for the agriculture sector?

Thanks,

Andy

Agricola or BIOSIS. But they are not free on the internet.

Go to biology library and have the reference librarian show you what
they have.

I am not aware of one specifically aimed at the agriculture sector,
but I thought I would mention that there is a movement afoot to get
all scientific papers archived online for free public access.

See for example:
Public Library of Science
http://www.publiclibraryofscience.org/

Budapest Open Access Initiative
http://www.soros.org/openaccess/

BioMedCentral
http://www.biomedcentral.com/

I have on my general links page a section on
Free Science News (& Sources) which you may find useful.

If you come across a good source, please post it.
