Questions and Answers 100% Solved


EPA reported this much was spent on pesticide use for

industrial/commercial/government sector and this much was spend for

home and garden sector in 2012 - ✔✔1.4 billion; 3.3 billion

Define integrated pest management - ✔✔System that uses all available

and suitable pest control tactics to reduce pest populations to tolerable

levels while minimizing adverse environmental side effects.

Explain how aesthetic thresholds affect IPM tactics - ✔✔Aesthetic

thresholds are based on tolerance, personal comfort, taste, plant

appearance, and specific site conditions.

Nurseries and the like have zero pest tolerance whereas landscape

plantings might have low tolerance.

Healthy lawns have a higher threshold than stressed, weakened lawns

Explain how IPM can reduce the use of pesticides - ✔✔Pesticides are

not meant to be a solution to all problems.

IPM provides the most effective solutions in all regards, which may not

always be pesticides.

List the six control strategies used in IPM - ✔✔Cultural

Mechanical

Host resistance

Biological

Regulatory

chemical

Define pesticide - ✔✔Any material used to kill, attract, repel, regulate, or

interrupt growth and mating of pests, or to regulate plant growth

Contact pesticides - ✔✔Must physically touch the pest organism or be

sprayed on the site the pest frequents to exert an action

Example would be protective fungicide

Must be re-applied to new plant tissues or if precipitation washes product

off

Systemic pesticide - ✔✔Enters the plant via roots or above ground plant

tissues and is moved inside of the plant.

Could render plant toxic to insect or mice

Could move through plant to kill parts of the plant

Example would be curative fungicide because it penetrates the plant and

stops disease

Preemergence - ✔✔Applied prior to weed seed germination.

Little to no effect on weeds that have emerged

Postemergence - ✔✔Applied to actively growing plants.

Work best in sunlight, high humidity, good soil moisture

Selective pesticide - ✔✔Control only certain types or stages of pests

while leaving nontarget organisms unaffected.

Example would be herbicide that kills broadleaf weeds and not turfgrass

Nonselective pesticide - ✔✔Exert their action on a wide variety of pests.

Control most of the plants they are sprayed on.

Identify the best application timing for effective pest control as it pertains to:

plant diseases, insects, and weeds - ✔✔Plant diseases

For fungicides, it is critical that susceptible tissues be protected before an

infection begins or at the first appearance of any symptoms



Insects

The younger the stage of insect, the more susceptible it is to chemical

control.

Weeds

Generally most effective when applied to actively growing plants and least

effective when plants are not actively growing

Annual weeds are easiest to control in early spring

Biennials should be treated in fall or early spring when in the rosette stage

Perennial weeds can be controlled in early bloom stage or in the fall

Explain how pesticide resistance develops in a pest population -

✔✔Resistance is the ability of a pest species that was once effectively

controlled by a pesticide to survive spray concentrations that were

previously effective.

It is an inherited trait that results from repeated applications of pesticides

with the same site of action or mode of action.

Examples include pythium blight in turfgrass, botrytis in ornamental, green

peach aphid in insects, and goosegrass weeds

State the importance of the numeric codes at the top of a pesticide label

and pesticide resistance - ✔✔These codes help applicators quickly

identify the mode of action by looking at the group number.

Varying this can help reduce resistance

State four ways to minimize pesticide drift - ✔✔Correctly chosen nozzle
