Find out what Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is and how to access advice and information to help apply it on your land in Scotland. Similar IPM resource arrangements are available if you live in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Assess your IPM approach using decisions support systems (DSS)

Decision support systems can help you manage and respond to different pest, weed and disease pressures to your crops.

Decision support systems include tools for:

monitoring and treatment thresholds
forecasting pest density and damage
comparing treatments

You can find Decision Support Systems online and you should decide which works best for you. IPM Decisions may help you assess which decision support systems are relevant to your land. This is optional and the Scottish Government does not require you to use this tool.
