The main objective of integrated pest management of plants (IPM) is to obtain optimal yields of high quality without destroying the natural environment. This system is based on the use of all available methods of plant protection, in particular non-chemical methods, especially to minimize risk to human health, animals and the environment. The integration of methods in plant protection was established in 20th century, in the course of the functioning of crop production systems. In the process of IPM there are used mainly biological and physiological mechanisms of plants supported by a rational use of conventional, natural and biological preparations. It is important not only to respect the basic principles of a rational use of pesticides, but also their proper documentation. The control activities of products in integrated production are made by the Main Inspectorate of Plant Health and Seed Inspection. In Poland, the National Action Plan accepted for 2013–2017 should also promote the activities in the integrated pest management. Since 1 January 2014 the Poland and other EU member states have been obliged to use the integrated protection in crop production system.
