1. Bioaccumulation ANS >>> The accumulation of a substance, such as a toxic
chemical, in various tissues of a living organism.
2. Biomagnification ANS >>> Accumulation of pollutants at successive levels of
the food chain

, 3. abiotic factors ANS >>> natural control measures within the
environment. EX ANS >>> climactic factors, air/water pollution,
topographic features.
4. Biological Control ANS >>> The use of natural enemies to
control pests. EX ANS >>> Predators, Parasites, Pathogens
5. Cultural Control ANS >>> These are Practices that reduce pest establishment,
reproduc- tion, dispersal and survival.
EX ANS >>> Mowing, irrigation, aeration, fertilization and sanitation.
6. Genetic control ANS >>> Making use of plant varieties that are naturally resistant
to insect feedings.
7. Mechanical/Physical control ANS >>> Kills a pest directly or makes its
environment unsuitable
EX ANS >>> Rodent traps, deer fences, mulches, barriers
8. Regulatory control ANS >>> Removal of pests that cant be controlled at a local
level. Utilizes quarantines to prevent entry of pests at airports or ocean ports and
can be used to remove pests with government power. (i.e. draining standing water
that provides breeding sites for mosquitos.)
