Abstract

Integrated Pest and Disease Management in rapeseed (canola) is a balanced approach that combines three types of methods. Agronomic practices (such as crop rotation and resistant varieties) create an unfavourable environment for the development of problems. Biological methods encourage the natural enemies of pests, while chemical controls are used precisely and only when necessary to preserve their efficacy and minimize environmental impact. The goal of this comprehensive approach is sustainable and economically viable production.
