The goal of plant protection is not only to destroy harmful organisms or limit their activity but also to forecast the time they appear and the possible extent to which they might spread, as well as to prevent especially harmful organisms from moving from some countries and regions to others. Plant protection is based on the data obtained by several agronomic (agriculture, plant growing, selection, agricultural chemistry, agricultural physics, agricultural plant pathology, and entomology), zoological, and botanical disciplines; genetics; biochemistry; and plant and animal biochemistry and physiology. Plant protection is closely related to such sciences as meteorology and climatology; chemistry and physics, which provide the scientific basis of chemical and biophysical control methods; and hygiene and toxicology, which study the direct and indirect effects of pesticides on plants and animals.

Every year the damage done to crops by pests and diseases, according to data of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), constitutes approximately 20–25 percent of the potential world yield of food crops. Therefore, plant protection plays an extremely important role in increasing the production of agricultural crops and in protecting them.
