Which of the following pest management methods uses selection for resistance to a pest as a
means of managing pests? - (ANSWERS)host- plant resistance
Which of the following statements about cultural pest management is true? - (ANSWERS)good
sanitation practices are needed to manage plant diseases
Naturally occurring disease organisms that have been commercially formulated to control pest
have been referred to as - (ANSWERS)microbial pesticides
5 steps of ipm - (ANSWERS)pest detection and identification
Pest monitoring

Implementation OF PEST CONTROL AND METHODS
RECORD KEEPING AND EVALUATION OF RESULTS
Why is it important to be able to identify host plants of landscape diseases? - (ANSWERS)if
managers have identified the host plants in a landscape they know what diseases the host's
plants are susceptible to and can be on the lookout for those diseases by monitoring the
weather conditions and watching for the onset of disease
Why is tracking accumulated degree days more accurate at predicting the emergence of pest
than the calendar method - (ANSWERS)Calendar predictions are generally based on average
temperatures for a given date over many years. Accumulated degree days are calculated on the
basis of the actual temperatures occurring in a particular year. In a hot, dry year, pest
development may be a week or more ahead of the calendar predictions.
According to the federal insecticide fungicide and rodenticide act - (ANSWERS)commercial
pesticide applicators using restricted-use pesticide must be certified
Under the endangered species act who is responsible for making sure pesticide a an
endangered applications do not affect an endangered species - (ANSWERS)

temperatures for a given date over many years. Accumulated degree days are calculated on the
basis of the actual temperatures occurring in a particular year. In a hot, dry year, pest
development may be a week or more ahead of the calendar predictions.
Why is studying plant phenological indicators more accurate at tracking insect development
than the calendar? - (ANSWERS)The developmental timetable for plants is based on actual
temperatures, as is the insect development timetable. The timing of the hatching of eastern
tent caterpillars is closely related to budbreak on cherry trees. Plant and insect development is
different each year based on the weather.
Action thresholds are often expressed as: - (ANSWERS)The number of pests per unit area.
Why are record-keeping and evaluation important to the IPM process? - (ANSWERS)It is
important to know from year to year what kinds of pest problems develop. It is also important
to konw what strategies worked and how well.
According to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act: - (ANSWERS)Commercial
pesticide applicators using restricted-use pesticides must be certified.
Under the Endangered Species Act, who is responsible for making sure pesticide applications
do not affect an endangered species? - (ANSWERS)The applicator. This can be done by carefully
checking the label and looking at the EPA-maintained website.
Outline the conditions under which federal law permits the control of migratory birds without a
Federal Depredation Permit. - (ANSWERS)If red-winged, rusty, and Brewer's blackbirds,
