1. A method for controlling harmful organisms on a field on which cultivated plants are cultivated, which method comprises the following steps:
(A) generating a digital harmful-organisms distribution map on which subareas on the field are registered, in which subareas the harmful organisms have been detected directly or indirectly;
(B) generating a digital application map on the basis of the digital harmful-organisms distribution map, it being registered on the digital application map those subareas of the field on which subareas one or more control agents against the harmful organisms are to be applied, it being registered for each of said subareas a number N of treatments with one or more control agents, wherein N is greater than 1;
(C) applying one or more control agents against the harmful organisms as per the digital application map from step (B), the number N for the treated subareas being reduced by 1; and
(D) repeating step (C) for each subarea until N has reached for the value zero,
wherein there is incorporation into the digital application map in step (B) of those subareas of the field in which subareas there has been detection in step (A) of nests with harmful organisms that have survived after an application of one or more control agents.
