Abstract
The key moment in the protection of agricultural crops against pests is
precisely determining the optimal time of insecticide application using different methods in the field. Visual inspections of crops are necessary but time consuming and producers usually do not have enough time. For this reason, various computer programs have been developed to help and facilitate very difficult decisions. Although there is very large number of these programs, very few are used in practice. Today, the only commercially available Computer program is proPlant which is used as help in protection of sugar beet, oilseed rape, potato and cerelas against insect pests. It includes developed phenological models both for the pests of and their natural enemies.
