1. Pest an undesirable organism that injures
humans, desirable plants and animals,
manufactured products, or natural
substances.
2. pathogens disease-causing organisms, such as
viruses, bacteria, or fungi
3. Pesticide resistance When pests adapt and become resistant to a pesticide. First seen in resis-
tance to DDT in 1947
4. bioaccumulation The accumulation of pesticide in the fatty tissue of some animals
5. biomagnification The Food chain.
Organisms with
pesticides in their tissues are eaten by
fish, which are in turn eaten by birds.
The birds at the top of the food chain
accumulate the highest concentration of
pesticide residues.
6. The Four main groups weeds, invertebrate
of pest animals, pathogens, and vertebrate
organisms animals. Never classify an organism
as a pest until it is clearly determined
to be one.
7. The first step in pest accurately identify the pest

including pests.
9. Applied Controls When humans try to eliminate pests.
1. Biological Control
2. Chemical control
3. Cultural Control
4. Genetic control
5. Mechanical/Physical Control
6. Regulatory Control
10. Biological control the use of natural enemies
—predators, parasites, pathogens, and
competitors—to control pests and
their damage.
11. Chemical control the pest management method that involves using naturally derived and/or
synthetic
chemicals to manage pests.
12. Pesticide any material that is applied to plants, soil, water,
harvested crops, structures, clothing
and furnishings, or animals to kill,
attract, repel, or regulate or interrupt
the growth and mating of pests, or to
regulate plant growth.
13. Avicides control or repel pest birds
14. Bactericides control bacteria
15. Chemosterilants sterilize insects
or pest vertebrates.
