Pests Helper insects Enlarge Definition The management of pests and diseases depends on a multitude of factors. Its control with exclusively chemical methods is difficult, since resistance problems appear, some active materials have low efficiency and many times the applications are incorrect. The abuse of pesticides also contributes to the contamination of the environment and the commercialization of products with residues. In addition, the economic cost corresponding to the use of phytosanitary products is very high, and far exceeds the cost of using the other techniques, which are more respectful of the environment. This negative evolution leads to the development of integrated control, which has as its main objective to limit the use of chemical products and to introduce alternative methods. The integrated production system uses natural regulatory mechanisms, taking into account the protection of the environment, the economy of farms and social demands. There are several definitions of integrated struggle: Integrated Pest Control (FAO, 1996): System, which in the context of the associated environment and the population dynamics of the pest species, uses all available techniques and methods, as compatible as possible and maintains the population of the pest at a level lower than that which would cause economic damage. The most recent is the one formulated by the OILB (International Organization for Biological Control ): "Integrated control is a pest control method that applies a set of satisfactory methods from an economic, ecological and toxicological point of view, giving priority to employment. of natural elements of regulation and respecting the tolerance thresholds ".
