1. Define integrated pest management ANS >>> IPM is a planned pest control
program that combines control program that combines control strategies to
keep the pest population below economically damaging levels and to avoid
adverse effects to humans, wildlife, and the environment.
2. List three control strategies and give an example for each ANS >>> Cultural
Control- Host plant resistance, maintaining healthy plants, changing the timing of
harvest or planting, cultivation, field management, water management

, Biological Control- pathogens, parasitoids, predators
Chemical Control- insecticide, herbicide, fungicide
3. Define economic threshold ANS >>> The number of pests that requires a
control action to prevent the pest population fromm increasing and causing
economic damage.
4. A high value crop will usually have a high economic threshold ANS >>> False
5. Field scouting is important because it helps determine pest ANS >>>
ANS >>> Presence, Location, Life Stage
6. When scouting a field, you should sample only from ANS >>> ANS >>>
Randomly picked locations throughout the field
7. List three ways that cultural controls work ANS >>> 1. Preventing the pest
from colo- nizing the crop or commodity 2. Creating adverse conditions that reduce
survival of the pest, and 3. reducing the impact of injury by the pest
8. Which of the following is an example of a biological control? ANS >>>
Parasitoid
9. Host plant resistance is a form of? ANS >>> Cultural control

, 10. When plant species eliminate other plants by releasing toxic chemicals, it
is called ANS >>> Allelopathy
11. After the growing season, destroying or removing crop residue can help
reduce potential insect and disease problems the following year ANS >>>
True
12. Pesticides are NOT part of an IPM program? ANS >>> False
13. Herbicides that are applied and mixed into the soil before crop planting are
called Herbicides ANS >>> Preplant incorporated
14. Very weedy cornfield; the corn is knee high ANS >>> Curative
15. A neighboring field is infected with a disease and you dont want it in your
field ANS >>> Preventive
16. The MSU Crop Advisory Team alerts you to potential pest outbreaks in your
area ANS >>> Preventive
17. You apply a fungicide to get rid of a disease ANS >>> Curative
