The indiscriminate use of pesticides is a major environmental problems in the conventional agricultural production systems. The Integrated Production (IP) emphasizes the reduced use of pesticides based on monitoring of pests and diseases. This study aimed to quantify the percentage of reduction in pesticide use in vine growing companies in the region of the São Francisco Submédio Valley after the introduction of IP- Grape. For the survey data were used passbooks field of nine companies in the region checking the number of applications during the production cycle of the years 2006 to 2009, compared to when there was no IP-Grape. In 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 decline of 10, 20, 25 and 16% respectively, in the number of fungicide applica- tions, while the spraying of insecticides decreased 99, 95, 93 and 76%. Herbicides had the greatest rationaliza- tion (85%) in 2006, reaching 100% in 2007, 2008 and 2009, in other words from the year 2007. The rationali- zation in acaricides use was not recorded. Thus, the IP-Grape has achieved positive results in relation to the rational use of pesticides.
