2005: a challenge
FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY
Basic knowledge on crop-pest systems has
considerably increased, but with little impact at the field
level as yet
Some farmers are experimenting practical solutions but
often lack scientific support
Uncertainties (climate change, pest invasions, price
volatility, policy changes) make things more complex
Devising innovative solutions require contributions from
diverse research areas that need to be pool

How to overcome a certain lack of motivation?
2009 : a turning point
and a sense of urgency
FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY
Concerns on environmental and human health impacts of
pesticides
More restrictive policies : the pesticide package
 a goal to shift whole EU agriculture to IPM
Stronger demand to agriculture to ensure food security
 New approaches to crop protection should not impact competitiveness
Need for new and more diversified solutions
 going beyond technical adjustments
.

 Proposing new robust strategies and cropping systems

A common practical and
dynamic vision of IPM
FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY
C. Ohmart, California
“IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests by
combining biological, cultural and chemical tools in a way that
minimizes economic, environmental and health risks.”
No IPM
IPM as a continuum
Ultimate IPM
Ultimate IPM system is one where no inputs are required
because pests kept below their economic thresholds due to
cultural and/or biological controls
