Action Threshold - ANSWER Pest population or plant damage level that requires
action to prevent irreversible or unacceptable physiological and/or aesthetic harm.
Allelochemicals - ANSWER Substances produced by plants that prevent or limit
damage by pests and other plants.
Appropriate Response Process (ARP) - ANSWER Process of systematically
acquiring and using information about the plant,
the stressor, and the client to determine which course of
action, if any, is recommended.
Augmentation - ANSWER In Plant Health Care, the release of beneficial organisms to
suppress pest insect or mite populations.
Bactericides - ANSWER Pesticides that are used to kill or inhibit bacteria in plants or
soil.
Biological Control - ANSWER A method of pest control that involves the use of
naturally occurring disease organisms, parasites, or predators to control pests.
1
, Biorational Control Product - ANSWER Product or pesticide formulated from
naturally occurring plant extracts, microbes, or microbial byproducts that poses very low risk
to nontarget organisms and has limited environmental persistence.
Botanical Pesticide - ANSWER Pesticides derived from plants.
Cellulose - ANSWER Long-chain, insoluble glucose polymer found in the cell walls of
the majority of plants.
Chemical Control - ANSWER Use of pesticides or herbicides to manage an unwanted
organism(s).
Compost - ANSWER Organic matter that has decomposed under controlled
conditions to produce an organic-rich material that enhances soil structure, cation exchange
capacity, and fertility.
Contact Pesticides - ANSWER Materials that cause pest injury or death on contact.
Cultural Control - ANSWER Pest management which relies on modifying something
we would do any way to help reduce pest populations. In agriculture, could include
modifying planting orharvest dates, tillage changes, crop rotation, etc. In other
circumstances, sanitation is an example of this strategy.
Degree Day - ANSWER Difference between the daily average temperature and a
given temperature base.
Eradication - ANSWER Total removal of a species from a particular area. May refer to
pathogens, insect pests, or unwanted plants.
Fungicides - ANSWER Chemical compounds that are toxic to fungi.
