biomagnification

56
Q

when target pest populations that has been suppressed using pest control measures rebounds worse than before

57
Q

when a target pest is suppressed and minor pest is able to grow quickly because they have no more competition

A

secondary pest outbreaks

58
Q

closely associated with people; an ecological consequence

A

sociological consequenecs

59
Q

components of an IPM program

A
  1. develop an IPM policy, 2. designate pest management roles, 3. establish IPM objectives, 4. develop a knowledge base, 5. monitoring protocols, 6. decision making guidelines, 7. control tactics, 8. evaluating an IPM program
60
Q

document that demonstrates that commitment of the company; guide for the development of the IPM program

A
  1. developing an IPM program
61
Q

identifying the roles of staff within the program; communication techniques; education and training

A
  1. designate pest management roles
62
Q

identify needs and expectations of clientele while being mindful of the budget; plant quality, management practices, being realistic

A
  1. establish IPM objectives
63
Q

key pests, key plants, key locations, plant inventory; site history; lots of research; record keeping

A
  1. develop a knowledge base
64
Q

pest species that cause the most damage and require control tactics most frequently; should know life cycle and biology

65
Q

plant genera that are the most suceptible

A

key plants

66
Q

sites in landscapes where problems arise; where people notice problems the most; more management required

A

key locations

67
Q

regular inspections of the managed system for insects, weeds, disease, and environmental factors; identify damage, pests, and beneficials

A
  1. monitoring protocol
68
Q

mean # of insects / sampling unit

A

pest density

69
Q

a measure of the relative warmth that accumulates each day; estimated amount of cumulative insect development that occurs over a year; amount of development that occurs in 1 day when the temp is 1 degree over the threshold (50 degrees)

A

growing degree days (GDD)

70
Q

cyclical and seasonal biological events related to climate - flowering and insect emergence - temperature dependent; better for visual cues in the spring; pest predictive calendar database

A

plant phenological indicators (PPI)

71
Q

how many pests cause how much damage? how do you decide when to take action?

A
  1. decision making guidelines
72
Q

what’s affecting the quality or vitality of the plant

73
Q

lowest pest population level that will cause economic damage (calculation equation); amount of injury that will justify the cost of control

A

economic injury level (EIL)

74
Q

lowest pest population that causes aesthetic damage, protect appearance (no equations); based on expert opinion; amount of injury that with justify the cost of control

A

aesthetic injury level (AIL)

75
Q

pest density at which control measures should be applied to counteract the damage; should be BELOW EIL or AIL; depends on the pest and the plant and location

A

action/economic threshold

76
Q

measures taken to control pests in a landscape

A
  1. control tactics
77
Q

economic efficacy, environmental sustainability, and sociological ability

A
  1. evaluating an IPM program
78
Q

preclude a pest population from reaching a damaging level - implemented before; depends on economic/ecological cost, certainty of damage, and short time window for damage to occur

A

preventative control tactics

79
Q

remedy for pest population control when there’s an outbreak

A

curative control tactics

80
Q

plant care, landscape design, and sanitation that can prevent outbreaks; biodiversity and landscape complexity; water management, fertilization, mulching, pruning, plant installation, and plant thinning

A

cultural controls

81
Q

remove pest or exclude them, make the area inhabitable; need to do comparison for laborious work

A

mechanical/physical controls

82
Q

plants that have resistance to pests; choosing to put these in the landscape is a cultural control, but breeding is this type of control; sterile male release control; genetically modified biocontrol agents

A

genetic controls

83
Q

make sure non-native species never get to the U.S. in the first place; wood borers often come on shipping palates; prevent exotic pest species and eradicate populations quickly; stop at port of departure and arrival; quarantine and inspections

A

regulatory controls

84
Q

the use of pathogens, predators, and parasitoids to suppress pest populations (natural enemies0

A

biological controls

85
Q

feeds on only one type/taxa or prey/host

A

specialist

86
Q

feed on many different types of prey/host

A

generalist

87
Q

bacteria, viruses, fungi, and nematodes that cause disease in insects - entomopathogenic; normally slow acting; compatible with predators and parasitoids

88
Q

small insects that slowly kill and consumes a host/larger insect; develop on/in host

A

parasitoids

89
Q

feeds and develops inside the host

A

endoparasitoids

90
Q

lay their eggs and develop outside the host - feed thru cuticle

A

A

ecosystem services

93

A

classical/importation

94
Q

attempts to maintain species of beneficial organisms; enhancement of their habitat to promote survival and/or avoid doing things to harm natural enemies

A

conservation

95
Q

when existing natural enemy populations are low/absent, additional predators/parasitoids may be purchased and released; great for greenhouses
