Integrated Pest Management (IPM): guide
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.
Creating your IPM plan
An IPM plan can help you:
- apply different control measures to your crops
- minimise the risks associated with the use of chemical pesticides
It should describe how you plan to apply IPM to your land. It can include details of:
- your land and the crops you grow
- the pests, weeds and diseases you have identified on your land
- control measures in the current season and plans for next season
The recommended IPM planning tool for Scottish Growers is available on the Plant Health Centre (Scotland’s Centre of Expertise) website and contains written guidance for certain crop types. You can also find other IPM plan templates online (for example: ipmtool.net) and you should decide which works best for you.
