Time to fill in your integrated pest management plan

Cyhoeddwyd gyntaf29 Mehefin 2021

If your farm or nursery enterprise uses professional pesticides to produce crops, ornamentals, fodder or feed including grassland and pasture, it’s time to fill in your integrated pest management (IPM) plan.

Complete your new IPM plan

The NFU has worked with the Voluntary Initiative (VI) to replace the current IPM Plan with an improved plan that will develop users IPM practises and help inform future policy. The new plan will continue to help farmers meet the requirements of the Sustainable Use Directive, which requires professional users of pesticides to consider the principles of IPM before the use of chemicals.

Complete the IPM Plan for Broad Acre Crops

Please complete this IPM plan if you farm any combinable, forage and/or field scale veg crops.

Complete the IPM Plan for Grassland Crops 

Please complete this IPM plan if you farm grassland as a main crop.

The new plan will provide users with scores for the different components of IPM, enabling improvements to be measured.

A new IPM plan for specialist horticulture growers is currently being developed and will be made available in the coming weeks. While this is still being developed, please complete the above plan for broad acre crops.

The plans should take approximately 30 minutes to complete and still counts towards BASIS/NRoSO accreditation:

  • BASIS: please email the completed plan to cpd@basis-reg.co.uk, with the reference number CP/101097/2021/h and your BASIS membership number.
  • NRoSO: please email the completed plan to  nrosocpd@cityandguilds.com with reference number NO464824g, your NRoSO membership number and date of birth.

Completing the plans offline

You can also download the new two IPM plans to complete offline. Please note that you will not receive an IPM score if completing the plan this way, although it will still be eligible for BASIS/NroSO accreditation.
