Reduce the impact of pest control on non-target organisms

All of these are goals of IPM

=====================================================

Question 2

Ground beetles are predators that help provide a natural form of biological control. They are ground dwelling and interact with prey items that they encounter on the ground. A farmer would like to monitor which ground beetle species are present in their field crop. As an entomologist, which monitoring technique would you recommend for the farmer to use?

1 / 1 point

In-situ sampling

Knockdown method

Pitfall trap

Sweep netting

=====================================================

Fumigants are less effective in greenhouses

Contact poisons are especially effective for insects feeding inside of a plant

A plant treated with a systemic insecticide will not be fed on by any insects

A poison must be ingested by an insect in order to impact the insect’s biological systems

Fumigants present the least amount of risk for humans

None of these statements are true

=====================================================

Question 4

Which of the following is a problem with insecticide use?

1 / 1 point

Insecticide use can lead to pest resurgence

Insecticide use is generally economical

Insecticides are generally ineffective

Insecticides can be highly targeted

Insecticide use can lead to natural enemy resurgence

=====================================================

Question 5

Which of the following insecticide spray regimes would most negatively impact beneficial insect species in a managed system?

1 / 1 point

The use of short-lived natural botanical insecticides

Application of high doses of insecticides to quickly obliterate pest populations

Application methods that target a certain area of the crop

The use of biobeds to break down pesticide residues

Spray during certain times of the day when pollinators are least active

Question 6

Which of these factors can promote the evolution of resistance in a pest species?

1 / 1 point

The pest insects have a limited range of dispersal

The pest insects have a short generation time

Pest managers have set low economic thresholds

Chemicals are applied before mating occurs in the pest insects

All of these factors can promote the evolution of resistance

=====================================================
