Guided and integrated control programmes applied in Europe. (After van Lenteren 1993b.)

crop type elements area under IPM in Europe/reduction in pesticides on that area
field vegetables guided monitoring–sampling–warning 5% of total area
host-plant resistance diseases/pests 20–80% reduction
cereals guided monitoring–sampling–forecasting 10% of total area
host-plant resistance diseases 20–50% reduction
maize integrated mechanical weeding–host-plant resistance 4% of total area
diseases–biocontrol of insects 30–50% reduction
vineyards integrated biocontrol of mites–host-plant resistance 20% of total area
diseases–pheromone mating disruption 30–50% reduction
olives integrated cultural control–biocontrol insects very limited
host-plant resistance diseases/pests
monitoring–sampling–pheromones
orchards guided monitoring–sampling 15% of total area
selective pesticides 30% reduction
integrated monitoring–sampling–pheromones 7% of total area
biocontrol–selective pesticides 50% reduction
host-plant resistance diseases
greenhouse vegetables integrated monitoring–sampling–biocontrol 30% of total area
pests and diseases–host-plant resistance diseases 50–99% reduction
