Midterm Exam Flashcards
Shield suscept with chemical or physical barrier.
Protection
Two types of control according to general principles in plant pest control.
Suscept and pathogen
Two types of suscept according to general principles in plant pest control.
Protection
Immunization
Two types of pathogen according to general principles in plant pest control.
Exclusion
Eradication
Change suscept’s reaction to disease.
Immunization
It kept the pathogens out
Exclusion
It destroy or eliminates the pathogen.
Eradication
-to prevent the import and spread of plant pathogens into the areas from which they are absent.
-the avoidance of the pathogen aims to enable the host to avoid contact or
- the ensure that the susceptible host and favorable environment conditions for the pathogen do not coincide.
Avoidance/Exclusion
-Quarantine and inspection
-Inspection and seed certification
-Use of pathogen-free propagating planting material.
Avoidance/exclusion
-Regulations controlling the import and export of plants to prevent the spread of disease and pests.
-Each state is responsible for enforcing quarantine regulations to prevent the spread of pest and disease within the state.
Quarantine and inspection
-Regulation controlling the import of plants to prevent the spread of disease and pests.
-Inspection of plants/insects at legal entry checkpoints.
-All planting materials, plant products, insects, etc. prohibited materials subjected to inspection at the entry checkpoint and found infested or infected shall be treated, quarantined, or destroyed.
Quarantine and inspection
This document certifies that the plants are free from harmful pests and diseases. It’s like a passport for your plant, ensuring that it can safely enter the country without posing a threat to local agriculture.
Phytosanitary certificate
This is the government agency responsible for plant health in the country or origin.
National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO)
The permit typically includes details about the type of plant, quantity, country of origin, and any treatments or inspections performed.
Contains specific information
Customs officials will check the permit to verify that the plants meet the country’s import regulations.
Required at ports of Entry
Depending on the country and plant type, you might also need other documents, such as import licenses or health certificates.
May require additional documents
-Grow the plant in an area or environment that is suitable for the growth of the pathogen.
- Use disease-free seeds.
- Growing the crop in an area free of isolation from the pathogen.
Use of disease-free propagating planting material
This principle aims to reduce or eliminate the amount of pathogen after it is introduced into an area but before it has become well-established or widely spread.
Eradication Principle
True or false
Eradication Principle is generally not effective over large geographic areas.
True
It can be applied to;
-individual plants
- seed lots
- Fields or regions
-Destroying weeds that are reservoirs of various pathogens or insect vectors of disease.
- Biological control of plant pathogen
- Crop rotation
- Soil treatment
-Heat and chemical treatment
