Define Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - Answer Biological and cultural
pest management strategies are combined with the use of selective pesticides
where necessary to achieve an acceptable degree of control while causing the
least amount of harm to non-target organisms and the environment.
A pest management philosophy that employs all appropriate pest management
tactics and approaches to keep pest populations under economically harmful
levels. Pest management solutions must be both environmentally and
economically sustainable.
A sustainable pest management method that focuses on long-term pest
prevention or suppression using a combination of biological, cultural, physical,
and chemical measures to reduce economic, health, and environmental
concerns.
Pesticides are only used when monitoring reveals that they are required under
established rules, and treatments are designed to remove just the target
organism. Pest management techniques are chosen and used in ways that reduce
hazards to human health, beneficial and non-target creatures, and the
environment.
The primary goal is to control only destructive pests without damaging
beneficial and non-target organisms, human health, or the environment.
Differentiate between key pests, occasional pests, and secondary pests. -
ANSWER Key Pests are pests that do significant damage regularly. Many
weeds, cockroaches, and rodents are examples of important pests since their
waste and body coverings (cockroach shed skins, rodent hairs, etc) can induce
asthma in some people.
Occasional pests are pests that become troublesome just once in a while due to
their life cycles.
, Secondary pets become a problem when a main pest is controlled or absent.
Certain fleas, ticks, and blood-feeding parasites attack people only when their
normal hosts, such as domestic dogs or cats, are not around.
Define the prevention, suppression, and eradication of pests.
Describe the strategies utilized to achieve prevention, suppression, and
eradication of pets--ANSWER
Define economic injury/treatment thresholds and describe what happens when
these are reached. ANSWER Economic Injury level - the pest population
density that causes losses equal to the cost of control measures. Setting ET
below EIL ensures that the cost of controlling the pest is less than the cost of
damage it would otherwise cause.
Economic threshold - the pest population density (number of pets per unit area)
at which control actions are needed to prevent the pest from reaching the
economic injury level. --influencing factors: agricultural commodity's worth,
stage of development, environmental conditions, cost and effectiveness of
control techniques, and predicted yields.
A tolerable injury level occurs when you are aware of the presence of a pest but
it is not fully established and is causing little damage. The time between when it
is not risky and when it becomes dangerous to crops is your treatment threshold.
Describe the monitoring and explain why it is important—ANSWER Monitor
the pest to be managed in the field; regular monitoring is critical to the
effectiveness of an IPM program.
entails regularly measuring populations as well as the resulting damage or
losses. Procedures vary per context.
- Scouting and trapping, or even weather data to estimate the timing and need
for pesticide
