Objective
Provide basic concepts in integrated pest management (IPM), provide knowledge and discuss the main tactics and control strategies within the perspective of integration, to develop and adopt the IPM in agricultural crops, in order to avoid economic damage, negative effects of the application of pesticides and contamination of the applicator, environment and food, respecting the environment.

Ecology of Pest Interactions; Biodiversity and the IPM. IV. Decision Making for the IPM; IPM Strategies and Tactics. V. Social and Environmental Limitations of IPM Implementation; IPM in the Future. VI. Biological Control: definitions, concepts, preservation and enhancement; Behavior Manipulation. VII. Mechanical, Physical and Cultural Controls. VIII.
