CORRECT!!
Define Integrated Pest Management - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the incorporation of
various pest control techniques in a way that minimizes effects on human
and environmental health while maximizing reductions to pest populations
,What is a key pest? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔pests that cause major damage on a
regular basis; require regular control efforts to prevent damage
What is an occasional pest? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔become pests once in a
while due to life cycles, environmental conditions, or result of human
activity
What is a secondary pest? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔normally not problem pests but
become problematic after key pests are controlled; can/will cause damage
after control of key pests
Define prevention of pests. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Stopping pest populations
before damage or treatment thresholds; weed/disease free seeding and
mediums, disease/insect resistant genetics, sanitation practices, natural
enemies
Define suppression of pests. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔reduction of pest populations
below economic injury threshold/to tolerable levels; can lower pest
populations so natural enemies can maintain control; releasing biological
agents, cultivation, etc.
,Define eradication of pests. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔total elimination of pest from
designated area; very expensive and often limited success; eradication
rarely supported unless it is an exotic or introduced pest
Define economic injury thresholds. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔When damages from
pests effect the economic return of the product; pesticide applications often
based off of these thresholds
Describe monitoring and its importance. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔detection and
tracking of development of pests; key to building effective management
programs; verifies pest presence and helps predict outbreaks; helps
observe habits, life cycles, natural enemies, properly time applications,
assess effectiveness of control measures
Five components of all IPM programs? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Identification,
monitoring, use of EIL to determine management, prevention, and
combining management tools when needed
What are the IPM methods/control options? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔biological,
chemical, mechanical/physical, cultural

, Define biological control methods? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔use of living control
agents/natural enemies to control pest populations; parasites, pathogens,
predators, competitors
Define chemical control methods - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔use of naturally
occurring or synthetic pesticides; only used when necessary in combination
with other methods; use of most selective pesticides to minimize
detrimental effects to humans or environment
Define mechanical/physical controls - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔kill pest directly or
make the environment unsuitable; ex.) rodent traps, mowing, sterilization,
screens for birds
Define cultural controls - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔reduce pest establishment,
reproduction, dispersal, and survival; ex.) changing irrigation, crop rotation
Explain importance of evaluating pest management results. - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔monitor after every treatment to learn if control activity was successful;
to ensure levels reach tolerable levels and control was successful
What IPM method of control is exclusion? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔mechanical/physical
