The crops used as a source of renewable energy, like all the other crops can be damaged by harmful organisms and diseases and may require chemical protection. The analysis of the register of plant protection products placed on the Polish market on 21.07.2014 shows significant differences in their availability. For crops grown in Poland on large areas, such as oilseed rape and maize, numerous products are available and the chemical protection possibilities are in principle sufficient. For minor crops, especially those grown mainly or solely as energetic crops, the protection possibilities are either very limited or non-existent.
