DPR Exam Questions With Correct
Answers
Integrated |Pest |Management |(IPM) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-ecosystem-based |strategy |that |
focuses |on |long-term |prevention |of |pests |or |their |damage |through |a |combination |of |
techniques |such |as |biological |control, |habitat |manipulation, |modification |of |cultural |practices, |
and |use |of |resistant |varieties
Key |Pests |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-cause |major |damage |on |a |regular |basis |unless |you |
successfully |manage |them. |Many |weeds |are |these |because |they |compete |with |desired |plants |
for |resources
Occasional |Pest |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Become |pests |once |in |a |while |due |to |their |life |cycles,
|environmental |conditions, |or |as |a |result |of |human |activity.
Secondary |Pests |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Are |not |normally |problems |but |become |problems |
after |a |key |pest |is |controlled. |Some |weed |species |become |pests |after |more |competitive |weeds
|have |been |controlled.
Prevention |of |pests |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Planting |weed |free |seeds |or |using |a |preemergent
Suppression |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Reduce |pest |numbers |below |an |economic |injury |
threshold |or |to |a |tolerable |level. |Ex: |cultivating |or |mowing |weeds |and |releasing |biological |
control |agents
Eradiaction |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Total |elimination |of |a |pet |from |a |designated |area.
, economic |injury/treatment |thresholds |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |smallest |number |of |insects
|(amount |of |injury) |that |will |cause |yield |losses |equal |to |the |insect |management |costs.
|The |pest |density |at |which |management |action |should |be |taken |to |prevent |an |increasing |pest |
population |from |reaching |the |economic |injury |level."
Monitoring |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Checking |a |landscape |to |identify |which |pests |are |present,
|how |many |there |are, |and |what |damage |they've |caused. |It |helps |determine |the |best |
management |tools |for |the |situation
Key |Components |of |IPM |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-1. |Identifying |pests
2. |Monitoring |and |assessing |pest |numbers, |damage, |and |favorable |field |conditions.
3. |Using |Economic |injury |or |treatment |thresholds |to |determine |when |management |action |is |
needed.
4. |Preventing |Pest |problems
5. |Combining |biological, |cultural, |physical/mechanical, |and |chemical |management |tools |as |
needed
IPM |Methods |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Biological |control, |Chemical |Control, |Mechanical |and |
Physical |controls, |Cultural |Control,
Importance |of |evaluating |pest |management |results |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Learning |the |
results |of |a |program |against |the |outcomes |you |intended |to |achieve. |... |Operational |monitoring
|aims |to |assess |the |efficiency |of |the |overall |operation1 |- |whether |the |management |plan |is |
operating |efficiently |in |terms |of |materials, |costs |and |labor/effort.
Importance |of |understanding |pest |biology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-So |you |can |be |certain |any |
injury |or |damage |is |actually |due |to |the |identified |pest
Important |of |identifying |the |pest |correctly |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-So |you |can |understand |
what |the |proper |control |method |is |and |the |proper |timing.
