The vulnerability of crops to attack 
by pests, diseases and weeds and 
the need for crop protection 
Toby Bruce
Are we losing the war?
“High yielding varieties”
really?
Why is it needed?
Reducing 
risks and 
impacts of 
pesticide 
use on 
human 
health and 
environment
Promoting 
IPM and 
use of 
alternatives
Royal Society: “There is a pressing 
need for the ‘sustainable 
intensification’ of global agriculture in 
which yields are increased without 
adverse environmental impact and 
without the cultivation of more land”. 
A second green revolution which is knowledge intensive 
rather than input intensive? 
Royal Society (2009) Policy document 11/09
Are we losing the war? 
Reducing 
risks and 
impacts of 
pesticide 
use on 
human 
health and 
environment
Promoting 
IPM and 
use of 
alternatives 
Not if we fight back with innovations in IPM
For successful promotion, establishment and support for IPM, two 
things are vital: 
① Research and development of alternative approaches to 
crop protection 
② Knowledge exchange and transfer to growers and 
agronomists
For successful promotion, establishment and support for IPM, two 
things are vital: 
① Research and development of alternative approaches to 
crop protection 
This will require: 10 X INVESTMENT

Build a network of farmers and agronomists interested 
in pioneering the system 
Design a user interface through which farmers and 
agronomists can enter details (module 1) 
Conduct a test run of the system to determine the main 
problems faced 
Design and build the geographic information system 
(module 2) 
Build the knowledge bank of potential solutions (module 
3) 
Determine the best practices for managing specific 
pests, weeds and diseases (module 4) 
Automate the system so that best practise solutions can 
be matched with site specific problems (module 5) 
Test run and obtain feedback from pioneer farmers and 
agronomists 
Optimise and refine the system 
Upscale and roll out to farmers and agronomists for the 
whole UK with a promotional campaign
