Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔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 ANSWERS ✔✔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 ANSWERS ✔✔Become pests |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
once in a while due to their life cycles, environmental
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
conditions, or as a result of human activity. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Secondary Pests - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔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 ANSWERS ✔✔Planting |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
weed free seeds or using a preemergent
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, Suppression - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔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 ANSWERS ✔✔Total elimination of a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pet from a designated area.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
economic injury/treatment thresholds - CORRECT|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔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 ANSWERS ✔✔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 ANSWERS ✔✔1.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Identifying pests |\
2. Monitoring and assessing pest numbers, damage, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
favorable field conditions. |\ |\
