Brazil needs to adjust itself to the agricultural production systems like Fruit Integrated Production (FIP), which has the objective of economically producing high quality fruits, obtained by ecologically safer methods, which minimize the collateral undesirable effects of the use of pesticides, increasing the environmental protection and improving human health. The FIP System in the Submedio São Francisco River Valley began in 1999 with the elaboration of an environmental diagnosis of the region, followed by monitoring insects and diseases, training of tehnicians and farmers, studying the productive chain, elaborating data baes and procedures for mango integrated production. Today, the Program counts on the participation of 33 mango export farms, amounting to a monitored area of 3,164.39 hectares. This Program is based on the integration among scientists, farmers, consultants and extension people, both from public and private institutions. Research studies are being carried out in order to generate and diffuse new technologies, products and services which can be adapted to the situation of the Brazilian mango farmers.  aEnvironmental control systems  aMangoes  aManual weed control  aControle Integrado  aManga  aMangifera Indica  aPraga  aCertificação  aManejo integrado  aMonitoramento técnico1 aMOREIRA, A.
