Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for Crops Click or tap here to enter text.
SCOPE(Please see the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, Annex C, Clause C.4.3)

Standardization of integrated pest management in crop production process, including management services,
effectiveness assessments, testing and analysis and other related standards which involved in the process ofmonitoring and forecasting, prevention and control and emergency measures.
Excluded：— Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry (covered by ISO/TC 23)— Common names for pesticides and other agrochemicals (covered by ISO/TC 81)— Personal safety -- Personal protective equipment (covered by ISO/TC94)
Note: Crops refer to all kinds of plants cultivated in agriculture, including food crops, cash crops, industrial raw
material crops, feed crops, etc.

PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION (Please use the field immediately below or attach an annex.)(Please see the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, Annex C, Clause C.4.13)
In many countries, agriculture is the foundation of the national economy and plays a strategic role in a country’seconomic development. The sustainable development of agriculture and food security are related to thedevelopment of national economy and social stability, and also important parts of global governance.
Crops are not only the essential sources of the food supplies for all the countries, but also provide raw
materials for industrialization. However, due to changes in the global climate and farming system, crop disease
and pest control are more important than prevention in many countries, and the application and promotion ofkey technologies and products need to be improved. As a result, crop diseases and pests are still at a highrate, posing a threat to global food security, economic development and ecological environment. According torelevant data, annually up to 40 percent of global crop production is lost to pests1. The yield loss estimates at a

global level for wheat (21.5%), rice (30.0%), maize (22.5%), potato (17.2%) and soybean (21.4%) due to pest2.
Each year, plant diseases cost the global economy over $220 billion and invasive insects at least $70 billion3.
Between 720 and 811 million people in the world faced hunger in 20204. 64% of agricultural land is at risk ofpollution due to unscientific and irrational use of pesticides5.
IPM for crops is the focus of both the developed and developing countries, therefore, the countries all over theworld formulated and issued laws, regulations or technical guidelines related to crop pests and diseases
according to national conditions, such as Plant Protection Act and Integrated Pest Management in USA, Pest
Management Services - Requirements and Competences in European Union, Code of Best Practice for Pest
Management in the United Kingdom, Agricultural Pests Act in South Africa, the Regulation for the Prevention
and Control of Crop Diseases and Insect Pests in China and so on. For crops that are in high demand andwidely cultivated in the worldwide, due to the different geographical conditions, economic and technologicaldevelopment level in different countries, there are certain differences in the practices, methods and effects ofIPM, which is worthy to share and discuss. To a certain extent, coordination should be maintained, andscientific, reasonable and widely used general standards should be formulated to promote industrial
development, technological innovation and trade and achieve the following UN Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs):
SDG1: "End poverty in all its forms everywhere"
SDG2: "End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture"
SDG15: "Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests,
combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss"[1] Climate change fans spread of pests and threatens plants and crops | |New FAO study[2] Serge Savary, Laetitia Willocquet, Sarah Jane Pethybridge, Paul Esker, Neil McRoberts & Andy Nelson,Theglobal burden of pathogens and pests on major food crops, Nature Ecology & Evolution.

LISTING OF RELEVANT COUNTRIES WHERE THE SUBJECT OF THE PROPOSAL IS IMPORTANT TOTHEIR NATIONAL COMMERCIAL INTERESTS(Please see theISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, Annex C, Clause C.4.8)
The establishment of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) TC will help popularize and apply bestpractices and advanced technologies in IPM, so as to widely reduce the impact of crop diseases andpests worldwide, promote crop output, improve economic efficiency and ensure global food security
production.
LISTING OF RELEVANT EXTERNAL INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OR INTERNAL PARTIES(OTHER THAN ISO AND/OR IEC COMMITTEES) TO BE ENGAGED AS LIASONS IN THIS WORK
(Please see the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, Clause C.4.9

- Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)- ISO/TC 23 Tractors and Machinery for Agriculture and Forestry- ISO/TC 34 Food Products- ISO/TC 81 Common Names for Pesticides and other Agrochemicals- ISO/TC 94 Personal Safety -- Personal Protective Equipment- ISO SAG Smart Farming
FAO has issued a set of management guidance for three specific pests, such as desert locust, army
worm and wheat rust. The TC proposal is not limited to specific pests and diseases control, but will
cover all types of pests and diseases affecting crop production. On the other hand, TC proposal is aseries of standards formulated based on the production process of specific crops, such as food crops,cash crops, industrial raw material crops and feed crops. It is more applicable and comprehensive.
GlobalGAP is a set of certification standards to ensure good agricultural practices. It establishes thebasic framework and general guidelines for pests and diseases control, but does not specify specificoperating specifications, technical parameters, test indicators, standard methods, etc. The TC
proposal fills this gap.
ISO currently has four TCs covering the agricultural sector, namely ISO/TC 23 Tractors and Machineryfor Agriculture and Forestry, ISO/TC 34 Food Products, ISO/TC 81 Common Names for Pesticides and otherAgrochemicals, and ISO/TC 94 Personal Safety -- Personal Protective Equipment. In addition, the ISO
Strategic Advisory Group (SAG Smart Farming) focuses on smart and digital farming, which does notoverlap with the TC proposal's scope, content and objectives.
TC will establish liaison with relevant organizations or institutions when necessary.
