4.4 Representative Insect Pest Species and Mites Attacking Crops Flashcards
Enumerate the Types of cultural control
Crop rotation
Sanitation
Trap cropping
replaces a crop that is susceptible to a
serious pest with another crop that is not susceptible, on a rotating basis.
Crop rotation
refers to keeping the area clean of plants or
materials that may harbor pests.
Sanitation
It is a type of cultural control that the
provision of a pest insect’s
preferred food near the crop
to be protected; the insects
are attracted to the trap crop
which is then destroyed.
Trap cropping
Some plants have physical and chemical adaptations
that allow them to repel, tolerate, or even kill pests.
Host Resistance
methods directly remove or kill pests
Mechanical/Physical Control
They can be rapid and effective, and many are well
suited for small acute pest problems, and are popular
with gardeners and homeowners
Mechanical/Physical Control
Enumerate the some examples of Mechanical/Physical Control
• Handpicking
• Light trapping
• Burning
• Bagging of fruits
• Mulching
Type of control to that is use of living organisms to suppress pest populations
Biological Control
are insects
with an immature stage that develops
on or in a single insect host, and
ultimately kills the host.
Parasitoids
Insects, like other animals
and plants, are infected by bacteria,
fungi, protozoans, nematodes and
viruses that cause disease.
Pathogens
use of chemicals to kill pests or
to inhibit their feeding, mating, or
other essential behaviors
