ASSESSMENT OF THE PROGRESS OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS IMPLEMENTATION INTO AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION SPACE
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2017, Vol 44, Issue 338
Abstract
The study was aimed at assessing the progress of integrated pest management (IPM) implementation into agricultural practices. Assessment of farmers’ attitude to the new EU policy to reduce the use of insecticides as well as evaluating the real possibilities of biological methods use for plant protection was analyzed. Almost 60% of farmers whose farms were conducted in a conventional system declared the use of pesticides prophylactically. Farmers conducted intensive agriculture do not know the principles of IPM (prohibition of pesticides abuse). However, it is possible that these farmers know the restrictions introduced in 2014 without accepting them. It has been observed that in the group of farmers declaring the knowledge upon principles of IPM, the proportion of respondents aware of pesticides ecotoxicity increases. Therefore, a continuous education of farmers seems justified, but at simultaneous expanding the range of biological products and support mechanisms for farmers, who quit the intensive use of chemicals.
