A priority evolution-ecological concept of the development of plant protection is developed. This concept combines the achievements of evolution ecology in the area of the indices of evolution-ecological strategy and tactics of the life cycles of biological species against hazardous organisms (phytopathogens, phytophagues, weeds), the ideas of the beginnings, course and attenuation of epiphytotic process, ecological classification of hazardous organisms allowing one, relying upon the system agrotechnical method, to create the conditions which would be favourable for the functioning of under- and overground parts of plants and unfavourable for reproduction, survival and trophic links of hazardous organisms in agricultural ecosystems; irrational application of pesticides may thus be rejected or reduced substantially.
