What are some of the basic principles of Integrated pest
management? - answer-1.) PREVENTION: Produce healthy plants that
resist plants: (Selecting healthy plants, using certified seed, providing
good growing conditions, and making a good match between the plant
and the site)
2.) MONITOR AND IDENTIFY THE PEST: Identify the problem: (Finding
out whether the damage to a particular plant is caused by a pest or
by an environmental condition such as freezing or drought and
always determine the exact pest that you are dealing with)
3.) SET
ACTION THRESHOLDS: Expect some pests and tolerate some
damage: (Deciding how many pests and how much damage to
tolerate)
4.) CONTROL: Use pesticides as a last choice-Not a first choice
What are 4 tools or techniques that you could use to study a plant
problem as you look for pests? - answer-1.) Keep records
2.) Use a hand lens
3.) Learn about symptoms
4.) Carry an index card
,What are 2 kinds of drift? - answer-1.) Particle drift: (The movement of
fine particles (droplets or dust) through the air while the pesticide is
being applied)
2.) Vapor drift: (The movement of the pesticide in the form of a gas or
vapor during or after application)
What is a Buffer? - answer-This is the non treated zone between the
area to be treated and sensitive areas such as ponds, streams, wells,
and drains
What is a Re-entry period? - answer-The length of time that must pass
before anyone can enter a treated area
Resistance to pesticides come from... - answer-Using the same pesticides
over and over again
,What will happen to Pesticides in the soil over time? - answer-They are
eventually broken down by bacteria and fungi
When should you apply a pesticide? - answer-When pests are
abundant enough cause unacceptable damage
What hand lens magnification is recommended for insect identification? -
answer-5 power to 10 power
What should you do in an IPM program? - answer-Produce healthy plants
that can resist pests
Why should pesticide application be the last choice in pest
management? - answer-Because they are labeled for use only on
specific pests and types of plants and because it is safer to use other
controls
What is Integrated pest management (IPM) ? - answer-It is an effective
and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies
on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use
current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their
interaction with the environment
What is Phytotoxicity? - answer-A toxic effect by a compound on plant
growth
, What is Pesticide breakdown? - answer-The breakdown of pesticides
into non-toxic substances from bacteria and fungi in the soil
What is a Threshold? - answer-A point at which pest populations or
environmental conditions indicate that pest control action must be
taken
What are the strategies that delay the development of pesticide
resistance? - answer-Using a pesticide only when needed and choosing
alternative pesticides from different chemical classes
What is an Indicator plant? - answer-Plants that can indicate the onset of a
pest infestation
