Category 1B insect management Iowa
Pesticide
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - answer information-intensive, decision-making
process that identifies & reduces risks from pests & pest management strategies
components of IPM - answer correct identification of pest, accurate monitoring &
measurement of the population, economic assessment of the damage & selection of
environmentally sound management tactics
characteristics which are important for identification - answer order of the pest,
special characteristics of the mouth, legs & antennae & life cycle of the pest
change in shape, form, and size during a pest's life - answer metamorphosis
gradual metamorphosis - answer insect hatches from the eggs & looks like a
miniature copy of the adult (grasshoppers, cockroaches, aphids)
nymphs - answer juvenile forms-no wings, go through several growing stages before
growing to winged adults
complete metamorphosis - answer 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult
chemical control of insects that have a complete life cycle should normally be aimed at -
answer the larva stage
piercing-sucking - answer is a major way insects feed
which is the most insect specific method of sampling for insects - answer pheromone
trap (scent which draws in specific insects)
true about European corn borer - answer overwinters as a larvae
which is most persistent in soils: pyrethroid, carbonates, organophosphates, chelates -
answer pyrethroids
increases the potential for non-target crop injury - answer aerial application
