it is a method in Cultural Control in which proper choice of planting site is a way of minimizing the occurence of pests

A

Selection of Planting Site, Planting and Harvesting Date

30
Q

Factors to consider in choosing a site are:

A

climate topography, elevation, slope, and soil condition

31
Q

True or False: Harvesting is preferably done in the morning to allow dew and moisture on the surface of commodities to dry.

A

True

32
Q

True OR False: Soils with higher pH due to high CaCO3 content there is increased incidence and severity of root rot (Phymatotrichopsis omnivora) on peach

A

True

33
Q

At ______ soil, there is an increase virulence of downy mildews

A

High acidic

34
Q

___________ causes increased early blight in potato caused by Alternaria solani (Mackenzie 1981), fusarium wilt of melon by Fusarium oxysporum

A

Under-fertilization of Nitrogen

35
Q

_________ causes inscrease disease susceptibility increase to fire blight on apple (Erwinia amylova) and pear (Johnson, 2000)

A

Over-fertilization of Nitrogen

36
Q

ammonium form of nitrogen when used to fertilize crucifers make these plants more susceptible to club root and Fusarium root rot as these pathogens are acid loving

A

Source of N can affect susceptibility to diseases

37
Q

this nutrient reduces severity of take-all diseases of wheat and potato scab

A

Phosphorus

38
Q

This nutrient favors take all of wheat disease and potato scab

A

Nitrogen

39
Q

this nutrient reduces drought stress but may affect pathogen establishment, delays maturity senescence in some crops and increases vulnerability to facultative pathogens, increases root knot, and white tip of rice

A

Potassium

40
Q

This nutrient generally increases disease resistance through plant defense responses

A

Calcium

41
Q

Manganese

42
Q

This nutrient reduces citrus greening or “huanglongbing”disease severity in citrus

A

Zinc

43
Q

This involves canopy management by pruning, thinning, or regulation of dense of crop stand by controlling the number of seeds per hill when sowing/planting has an effect on insect pest numbers, disease severity by influencing the environment/ microclimate

A

Proper Plant Spacing and Density (PPSD)

44
Q

This practice involves the immediate removal of crop residues and removal of weeds that serves as alternate hosts minimize the occurrence of pests

A
