Create IPM plans for your farm
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.

We are establishing a network of farms to share knowledge and data on the application and impact of IPM strategies with the aim to better understand the effectiveness of IPM approaches on farm yield and profitability, and support sustainable, productive systems with no pesticide inputs wasted. We’ve had some initial funding from Defra to design the network, and now we are moving into a pilot phase.
