    Iran’s total land area is 162.85 million ha of which 11.93 percent is covered by arable and permanent crops. The main commodities produced in the country are tomatoes, meat, chicken, milk, wheat, pistachios and grapes. When the first impacts of the green revolution were felt on human health and the environment, the Iranian scientific community and agencies responsible for the agriculture sector began to investigate ways to reduce the negative effects associated with applied intensive agriculture technologies. Addressing the issue of the excessive use of chemical pesticides, they appealed to the concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
