1. describe ways weak links in a pest's life cycle or behavior are often targeted by non-chemical
non-chemical methods
pest control
methods work
with an
organism's
biology
2. how does plant- certain crops have transgenic genes that are resistant to insects or mites and higher
ing transgenic populations of these organisms can be tolerated
crops affect pest
management de-
cisions regarding
insects or mites?
3. how does plant- certain crops can have transgenic genes that allow them to tolerate herbicides
ing transgenic that are broad spectrum and those herbicides can be broadcasted over the field
crops affect pest without harming them (round up ready crops)
management de-
cisions regarding
weeds?
4. explain how transgenic crops are cultural control methods that can help prevent issues. How-
pest-related ever, it does not provide complete control and research still needs to be done on
transgenic crops how these crops affect diversity/ecosystem balance
fit into an IPM
program
5. how do pesti- the way the pesticide affects an organism's biology is called the mode of action and
cides work with most interfere with metabolic processes. However, some cause physical damage
an organism's bi- like suffocating (oil) or removing waxy layer of certain insects that causes water
ology? loss

6. life cycle of mites -mites go through gradual metamorphosis
-they have an egg stage, larva stage, several premature stages that are smaller
versions of adult, and the adult
*feeding habit is similar for all stages
7. life cycle of annu- sprout from seed, mature, produce seed for next generation, and die within one
al weeds growing season
8. life cycle of bien- require two growing seasons to complete life cycle. Seeds germinate, overwinter
nial weeds in vegetative growth (rosette) or roots, and flower stalks/seeds are produced once
shoot tips are exposed to cold
9. life cycle of produce vegetative structures that allow survival for 3 or more years. They sprout
perennial weeds from seed, mature, produce seed, and lose their leaves/die back but regrow each
year with storage in specialized structures (rhizomes, bulbs, etc.)
10. life cycle of -inoculation, penetration, infection, and growth are the main stages
pathogens -disease will also have own mini cycle within main cycle
11. common sources -flight/walking from surrounding areas
of insects and -infected plants/animals
mites -wind
-water
-equipment
-rainfall
12. common sources -nearby plants
of inoculum -seeds
-transplants
-other propagative structures that have pathogen
13. common sources -seed bank (main)
of weeds -animals
