At the same time, it refers to the present control possibilities, the aim being the efficiancy and environmental demands. The basis of the synthesis are main data and results obtained at the Institute (in experimental fields and demonstration plots), during 1982-2003 (the Institute was founded in 1981) about natural infections and infestations without treatments. It contains three parts (pathogens, pests, weeds) and has original pictures enclosed in the annex: some symptoms of pathogen and pests attacks, weed control and other aspects such as herbicides fitotoxity strangled roots, Cuscuta as a parasitic plant etc.
