**8. Conclusions**

Field crops occupy about 1.7 billion hectares. They are at grea<sup>t</sup> risk of infestation by insects and diseases, so the amount of pesticides used in production is very high. One solution to reduce the use of pesticides is to implement IPM as a dynamic and flexible approach that takes into account the diversity of agricultural situations and the complexity of agroecosystems, which can improve the resilience of cropping systems and a farmer's ability to adapt crop protection to local conditions. The studies published in this Special Issue refer to all the basic principles of IPM as systemized by Barzman et al. [11] and provide examples of their implementation in different crops and cropping systems. Research on various aspects of the implementation of IPM in crop production is a continuous need. The research presented helps to provide a mosaic picture with examples of how crop-specific, site-specific and knowledge-intensive IPM practices should be considered and translated into workable practices.
