Conteúdo: | A wide range of organisms are considered pests or beneficial organisms depending on whether or not they compet with humans for food and fiber. The importance attached to a given group of pests depends on how humans perceive the damage done to food and fiber supply by the pest group. Major agricultural pests include insects, mites, nematodes, plant, pathogens, vertebrate pests and weeds. They have coexisted with humans as componenets of the natural system since the dawn of civilization. This underlying fact about the natural ecosystem is an important consideration both in understanding the biology of these pests and in formulating effective control strategies that are also environmentally safe. Pest management refers to how pests and their environments are manipulated to keep pest populations below levels that will cause economic loss in a crop. A good pest management programs is therefore not only concerned with the population dynamics of the pest but also with the welfare of all other organisms that share the same habitat. A proper approach to pest management requires an appreciation of the economic importance of all pests, as well as the plant protection disciplines that are involved in their control. The inter-relationships between IPM and the other components of the natural system are shown in figure 1, which focuses attention on the fact that crop pests coexist with humans and other organisms as components of the natural system.
