Environmental public goods associated with agriculture practice of integrated wheat pest management

During 2007-2013 period, especially under the conditions of profound agro-ecological changes caused by climate warming, the integrated control strategy of wheat pest was elaborated in relation to increased pest abundance and attack. The paper presents the adequate integrated pest control methods and their benefits under different wheat technologies: classical (ploughing), conservative no tillage system and protective agro-forestry belts farming system. The research results have comprised the IPM aspects of interest such as: dynamics of pest species; integrated pest control in accordance with technological factors, biotic factors, environment protection and the providing of environmental public goods associated with agriculture. Integrated pest management (IPM) is an agro-ecologicalenvironmental system approach to crop protection that uses different practices to control the pest and minimize the pesticide applications. The IPM objectives are the achievement of yield safety, the attaining economic and ecological efficiency; the protection of environment and food quality; the preservation of biodiversity, environmental public goods. Common Agricultural Policy mentions the importance of providing environmental public goods associated with agriculture such as agricultural landscapes, farmland biodiversity, soil, water and air quality, climate stability farming practices. Special environmental public goods are associated with integrated pest management crop technologies such as: the positive impact of biological pest control, using biodiversity of beneficial entomophags and flora, biological agriculture, related to pollution limitation and sustainable development of environmental factors quality; the positive impact of agro-forestry belts farming system and of soil conservative no tillage systems, particularly in water stressed areas, related to climate stability etc.
