The need for PROTECTION of CROPS the man asked if farmer to ensure the regular production of food and undoubtedly the first farmers have met, have suffered and fought against the natural adversities of his crops, so that settled an inevitable battle that has survived to the present day. Crop protection is inherent in agriculture itself, human creation that was born to satisfy many of our needs so stable. Agriculture needs to provide food and also products for commercial and industrial use, but, especially in the first case, in quantity and with adequate quality. Furthermore, the farmer needs to obtain an economic advantage of their work and the consumer want fair prices.
