IPM Basics
IPM stands for this.
What is Integrated Pest Management?
Regular observation of plants for pests and problems is called this.
What is scouting?
This IPM method uses predators, parasites, and beneficial organisms.
What is biological control?
This part of the label tells whether a pesticide is Restricted Use.
What is the use classification statement?
These insecticides are absorbed and moved throughout the plant.
What are systemic insecticides?
IPM uses this type of approach instead of relying on only one control method.
What is multiple control methods (an integrated approach)?
Sticky cards are mainly used to detect these types of pests.
What are flying insects?
Improving irrigation and selecting resistant plants are examples of this control method.
What is cultural control?
The ingredient that actually controls the pest is called this.
What is the active ingredient?
These fungicides remain on the plant surface to protect it.
What are contact fungicides?
The goal of IPM is to reduce this while effectively managing pests.
What is risk?
These plants are marked and monitored to detect pest populations early.
What are indicator plants?
Hand-picking caterpillars is an example of this type of control. Hand-picking caterpillars is an example of this type of control.
What is mechanical control?
The EPA requires this warning on pesticide labels.
Guaranteed Analysis & Ratio, Manufacturer Label, Caution, etc
Herbicides that control certain weeds without harming turf are called this.
What are selective herbicides?
IPM decisions are based on this important characteristic of each site.
What is site-specific conditions?
Cast exoskeletons and frass are examples of these.
What are signs of insect activity?
This control method includes insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
What is chemical control?
These three signal words indicate pesticide toxicity
What are Danger, Warning, and Caution?
Repeated use of the same mode of action can lead to this.
What is pesticide resistance?
Before deciding on a treatment, IPM emphasizes collecting this.
What is information through scouting and monitoring?
This practice helps identify pest outbreaks and evaluate control methods over time.
What is recordkeeping?
IPM recommends using this combination rather than relying on chemicals alone.
What is multiple control methods?
Cultural and Biological
It is illegal to use pesticides in a way that violates this.
What is the label directions?
Rotating pesticide mode-of-action groups helps prevent this.
What is resistance development?
