CPRT22 Lab Exercise 5 Flashcards
An approach in pest management that involves the use of living organisms.
Biological Approach
An approach in pest management that involves the use of living organisms.
Biological Approach
This organism kills its prey and eats it.
Predator
_________ are organisms that require their host to stay alive for them to survive.
Parasite
_________ is an organism that lays its eggs on its host, where the hatched larva will consume the host from the inside.
Parasitoid
Parasitoids are usually from this order of insects.
Hymenoptera
Give an example of a Mycoparasite.
Trichoderma harzianum
This is an organism or a pathogen that infects or attacks fungi.
Mycoparasite
The target of Trichoderma harzianum
Rhizoctonia solani
Term used for viruses that infects fungi
Mycoparasitic virus
Form of virus that attacks bacteria.
Bacteriophage
The secondary parasitoid is beneficial, while the tertiary parasitoid is a pest.
True or False
FALSE
The term used for the gradual release of biocon agents.
Augmentation
Term used for pathogens that attack insects.
Entomopathogens
Give examples of Entomopathogenic fungus.
Beauvaria bassiana - White Muscardine Fungus
Metarrhizium anisopliae - Green Muscardine Fungus
This is considered to be the best stage of the life cycle of parasitoid to be put in the field.
Pupa / Pupal Stage
The main parasitoid.
Primary Parasitoid
The parasitoid that targets the secondary parasitoid.
Tertiary parasitoid
Give an example of larval parasitoid
Tetrastichus brontispae
The target host of Tetrastichus brontispae
Brontispa longgisima
Example of an egg parasitoid
Trichogramma evanescens
Scientific name of the Earwig.
Chelisoches morio
Target host of the Trichogramma evanescens.
Corn borer
Scientific name of the Corn borer
Ostrinia furnacalis
A type of parasitoid that parasitizes the eggs of its host.
Egg parasitoid
This type of parasitoid attacks caterpillars or the larval stage of its host.
Larval parasitoid.
What type of BCA is the Chelisoches morio?
Predator
The prey of the Chelisoches morio
Coconut leaf beetle / Brontispa longgisima
It is an approach in pest management that utilizes the use of living organisms to control pest populations.
Biological control.
The parasitoid is (smaller, larger) than its host.
Smaller
The predator is (smaller / larger) than its prey.
Larger
The parasitoid needs its host to be stay alive for it to survive.
True or False
False
Give 2 examples of predators.
Ladybug / Lady beetle
Earwig
How many spots does the ladybug have?
6/8/10
How many spots does the lady beetle have to have to consider it as a pest?
12 or more
The prey of Chilomenes sexmaculatus
Aphis craccivora
The parasitoid that attacks the main parasitoid.
Secondary parasitoid
Organisms that can be used in Biological approach.
Insects / Pathogens / Weeds / Vertebrates
Host crop of Brontispa longgisima
Coconut
Host crop of Rhizoctonia solani
Rice
Host crop of Aphis craccivora
Black bean
