- Abstract
The integrated production of peach (IPP) had its first milestone in Brazil in 1999. This study examined the technological level in which are producers of peach, identifying the rate of adoption of integrated production systems (IP), seeking to highlight the determinants of its validation. For this, a semi-structured questionnaire was performed with 20 peach producers, in which were raised information about the production units regarding its characterization and production technology, in the period from 2006 to 2007. The main factors identified as limiting for the management of IPP were: little knowledge about standard IPP, restricted list of pesticides registered for agriculture use, lack of differentiation and return on peach produced under the rules of IP. The points detected as positive were: identification of increased interest on MIP by producers, with emphasis on: identifying the environmental benefits and protection of the producer, reduction of external inputs (particularly pesticides) and soil management operations.
