What |is |biotic? |-CORRECTANSWER |living |(Example |Fungi)
,T |or |F |Should |you |avoid |driving |through |field |when |foliage |is |wet, |to |prevent |diseases. | -
CORRECTANSWER |T
What |is |a |Pest |-CORRECTANSWER |any |organism |that |competes |with |people |for |food,
fiber |or |space, |or |presents |a |health |risk |to |people |or |domestic |animals
What |is |an |Arthropod |-CORRECTANSWER |Arthropods |are |invertebrate |animals |with
an |exoskeleton, |like |insects |and |arachnids
What |type |of |damages |do |arthropods |cause |-CORRECTANSWER |Chewing |on |leaves,
Tunneling |in |roots, |Sucking |on |plant, |cause |galls, |Inject |toxins, |transmit |diseases, |feed
on |livestock
Difference |between |insects |and |arachnids |-CORRECTANSWER |Insects |have |3 |pairs |of
legs, |wings |and |antennae |3 |regions |of |the |body |head, |thorax |and |abdomen. |While
arachnids |have |4 |pairs |of |legs, |not |wing |and |no |antennae |2 |regions |head |and |thorax.
What |is |the |difference |between |simple |metamorphosis |and |complete |metamorphosis | -
CORRECTANSWER |Simple |Metamoph. |is |3 |stages |egg, |nymph, |and |adult. |gradual
change. |Complex |Metamorph. |4 |distinct |stages |egg, |larva, |pupa, |and |adult
,How |dose |Temp. |and |Humidity |effect |insect |development. |-CORRECTANSWER |Higher
temp |and |humidity |is |typically |better |for |insects. |Temp |above |threshold |will |increase
reproduction |and |humidity |will |decrease |stress.
Corn |ear |worm |properties |-CORRECTANSWER |can |vary |in |color |grow |1 |inch |1/2 |long
Advantages |of |using |insecticides |-CORRECTANSWER |effective |against |thousands |of
insects, |they |act |quickly, |effectiveness |can |be |evaluated |quickly, |equipment |and
formulations |are |common
disadvantages |of |insecticides |-CORRECTANSWER |the |wide |range |can |kill |beneficial
insects, |reapeated |use |can |lead |to |resistance, |added |cost |of |production, |potential |for
drift |to |areas |with |benifical |insects
Describe |ways |insecticides |are |used |-CORRECTANSWER |Seed |Treatment, |Soil
Application |(in |Furrow), |foliar |application |to |leaves |or |fruit.
Define |weed |-CORRECTANSWER |Unwanted |Plants, |we |consider |all |plants |except |the
crop |to |be |a |weed.
Two |Main |Goals |of |weed |management. |-CORRECTANSWER |Minimize |weed
competition, |and |yield |loss. |Other |main |goal |is |to |limit |a |weeds |reproductions |to |reduce
weed |population |in |future |years.
, Describe |ways |weeds |can |pose |problems |in |crop |production |-CORRECTANSWER
Compete |with |crops, |Reduce |crop |quality, |interfere |with |production, |produce |chemical
inhibitors, |Irritate |or |poison, |support |insects |and |diseases,
What |is |a |grass |-CORRECTANSWER |monocots |( |corn)
what |is |a |broadleaf |-CORRECTANSWER |Dicots |( |soybeans)
Ways |to |distinguish |a |grass. |-CORRECTANSWER |one |cotyledon |(seed |leaf) |growing
point |is |at |or |below |soil |surface, |fibrous |root |system, |Parallel |vein |pattern |on |leaves.
Ways |to |distinguish |a |broadleaf. |-CORRECTANSWER |Two |leaves(cotyledons) |when
they |emerge, |often |looking |like |the |true |leaves. |growing |point |at |tip |of |shoot |above
ground, |taproot |system, |Net |like |vein |pattern |on |leaves.
What |is |an |annual |plant. |-CORRECTANSWER |live |less |than |12 |months |and |produce
and |abundance |to |seeds |for |next |year.
What |is |a |summer |annual |-CORRECTANSWER |Germinate |from |seed |in |spring |flower
and |produce |seed |during |sumer |and |then |die |in |the |fall/ |winter |.
