The paper evaluates the situation developed in the forest protection activity in Romania, as a consequence of the certification of an important forest area, according to FSC standards. The FSC standards adopted in forest management resulted in strong restrictions in using the majority of the pesticides authorised for forest protection. In the present paper is displayed the current status of the insecticides use in forests in European Union generally, and in certified forests, particularly. An additional task consists in identification of some pesticides with low toxicity and residues, according to the sixth FSC principle, in order to apply them for the limitation of the damages caused by the phytophagous insects in mature stands. Are displayed the results of the field trials developed for testing the efficacy of an insecticide containing pyrethrum extract.
