Page 7/23 IPM overview IPM in South Tyrol orchards, Italy  More than 9000 growers  Surface: ha  Pest resistance: red spider mite (1964), leafminer (1969), pear psylla (1973), red spider mite (1982) and leafminer (1988).  The resistance of the red spider mite (Panonychus ulmi) caused a considerable financial loss (1982)

Page 8/23 Trends and problems of a sustainable IPM system  IPM is a dynamic system and needs continuous adjustments  Secondary pests are increasing  There is a continual need for new beneficials and resistant crop varieties  Effective and IPM-compatible insecticides are a prerequisite for efficient, sustainable IPM systems  Adequate technical assistance remain key topic in the relation between suppliers & growers

Page 17/23 Sustainable IPM Systems Understanding Factors of Selectivity Safety to Beneficials depends on: 1.Relative sensitivity 2.Differences in crop habitat 3.Difference in time of occurrence 4.Differences in behaviour 5.Acquired tolerance

Page 21/23 Sustainable IPM In Action

Page 22/23 The Integration of selective Crop Protection Products and beneficials is crucial for the development of sustainable IPM systems Successful integration depends on a detailed understanding of beneficial, pest and crop biology, and the selectivity of Crop Protection Products to Beneficials Bayer CropSciences is committed to supporting sustainable IPM Systems by the discovery, development and field support of selective, low impact Crop Protection Products.
