Create IPM plans for your farm

The IPM tool

The IPM Planning Tool has been developed by ADAS and SRUC as part of a Defra Test & Trial led by the NFU.

The IPM Planning Tool allows for a more in-depth analysis of specific pest, weed and disease threats on a field-by-field and crop specific basis.

Threat levels of individual plant health concerns can be considered and suitable advice provided.

The IPM Planning Tool takes approximately 1 hour to complete.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is based on a diversity of pest management measures (prevention, non-chemical control, best practices for optimizing pesticide efficiency, etc.). These are combined at the farm level to enable reduced reliance on pesticides, and therefore a decrease in the exposure of the environment and people to pesticides.
