Course content

1. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) definition. 2. Development and content changes to the IPM definition related to the development of plant protection methodology. 3. Concept of classical, bio-intensive and conventional IPM, economic, ecological, hygienic and toxicological aspects of IPM. 4. IPM programs - basic units of practical implementation of IPM. 5. General structure of the IPM program - target plant. 6. Identification and delimitation of pests and diseases. 7. Population dynamics, prognosis and signaling, critical numbers and thresholds of harmfulness. 8. Delimitation and selection of pest control methods (preventive, obligatory, complementary and corrective interventions). 9. Individual methods of IPM (agriculture, physical, mechanical, genetic). 10. Individual methods of IPM (biological methods). 11. Individual methods of IPM (biorational methods). 12. Model structures of IPM programs of the most important field crops (cereals, oilseeds, root crops, legumes and perennial fodder crops, field vegetables). 13. Model structures of IPM programs of fast-growing vegetables and ornamental flowers (cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, various types of ornamental flowers). 14. Model structures of IPM programs of permanent crops (fruit trees, grapevines)

Learning outcomes
|
The goal of this subject is theoretical basics and practice of Integrated Pest Management, with an emphasis on the activities and principles to establish the crop IPM programs, formation not only with regard to efficiency but also hygienic, toxicological, economic, and ecological aspects. The subject will also include characterization of the different methods used for pest and diseases control.
Knowledge of various methods of plant protection, strategies of biological control, bioproducts based on macroorganism and microorganism , application of methods in regulation of pest populations in field crop and vegetable.
