3. Definition for integrated control interface
Selection of combination and application of pest control
measures based on forecasting economic, ecological and social.
A comprehensive plan for controlling pests using an integrated
approach in order to lower the harmful economically tolerable
levels, while protecting the environment.
economic and ecological optimization of pest control by a
combination of many tactics. This is to ensure the protection of
crops, upholding the values of damage below economic damage
threshold, while minimizing risks to humans and the
environment.
A common approach to pest control that combines tools:
biological, cultivation, physical, genetic and chemical way in
order to minimizing economic losses and health and reduce the
risks to the environment.
4. Integrated pest control approach
developed in the seventies, as a
result of disillusionment from the
concept of annihilation of pests
based on chemical pesticide with
the aim of total elimination the
pest populations.
6. Cons of the annihilation approach
1. Pest develop resistance
2. A fatal blow to natural enemies
3. Replacing main pest with secondary past
4. Residues were found in food substances
(DDT in milk)
5. Residue material hurmthe food chain in
nature (birds of prey)
9. Cons of the annihilation approach
1. Pest develop resistance
2. A fatal blow to natural enemies
3. Replacing main pest with secondary past
4. Residues were found in food substances

14. Cons of the annihilation approach

main pest its biology
•Determining the Economic Injury Level
•Monitoring
•An informed decision on the methods of
operation.
Principles of integrated control
25. Criteria for choosing the method of
treatment (control)
1. Likely to prevent economic damage by
the pest population.
2. Minimum damage to natural enemies /
low toxicity to non-target organisms.
3. Minimal damage to human health.
4. Minimum damage to the environment.

Sprinkle with sterile
males infected in areas
Females mate with males from the wild
Male sterile
Sterile males are much more common then
normal
Females lay unfertile
eggs that hatch

• Economic advantages.
Weaknesses
• need for consultants
(inspectors) decision-
making stage.
• difficult to price-
training
• difficult to have in-
depth knowledge of
many pests.
