[EBOOK] Integrated pest management in mediterranean greenhouses, Juan Carlos Gaquez Garrido and Jose Luis Racero Luque-Romero

The current trend in crop protection is oriented towards the production of quality food, without neglecting environmental protection. It is therefore important to reduce the use of chemicals that can be harmful to the health of people and the environment and guide phytosanitary protection towards methods that take this into account, such as biological control. This form of food production attempts to make the most of natural resources, while maintaining the profitability thresholds and production levels agricultural estates need to be competitive, producing healthy foods that respond to requirements of ever-more demanding markets and consumers.

The European Union (EU) has established a framework for community action to achieve sustainable use of pesticides. The proposed measures include, in particular, the strengthening of surveillance, training and user information, as well as specific measures concerning the use of these substances.

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a control strategy that is basically the rational application of a combination of biological, biotechnological, chemical, cultural or plant-breeding or selection, so that the use of phytosanitary products is limited to the minimum necessary. These control measures must be combined intelligently in order to maintain population levels of phytophagous pests below their economic damage thresholds.
