Plant protection (IPM)
Integrated control program
A pheromone that reduces chemical consumption, biological agents, and monitoring protocols.
Methods of safely protecting crops using pheromone traps, beneficial insects, and selective substances based on phenology.
The first step of IPM is monitoring: the number of pheromone traps per hectare, garlic-leaf observation corridors, leaf-fruit laboratory analyses. If pest pressure exceeds the economic injury threshold, a rotation of selective insecticides (MOA switching) is applied. Biological agents – Trichogramma, Chrysoperla, entomopathogenic fungi – reduce the population.
During the overwintering phase, sanitation works with oil emulsions and copper preparations, using sticky sprays in vegetation reduces drift and usage. A PHI (pre-harvest interval) calendar is maintained for MRL requirements; due to the impact of water quality (pH/carbonate hardness) on treatment efficiency, buffer agents are used. As a result, pest resistance slows down, beneficial entomofauna is preserved, and safety indicators suitable for export are ensured.
