PEST: Anything that causes plants injury or damages them

CHARACTERISTICS OF INSECTS
Insects have three pairs or 6 legs.
Insects body is divided into three sections: head, thorax and abdomen.

FIVE TYPES OF MOUTH PARTS
CHEWING : Bite off, chew and grind parts of plants; examples include grasshoppers, beetles and armyworms.
PIERCING-SUCKING : Suck sap from a plant; examples include aphids, chinch bugs, thrips, squash bugs and leafhoppers.
![Page 5: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Rasping-sucking – rasps or breaks surface and sucks the sap EX: thrips
Siphoning – a coiled tube they dip into liquid food (nectar)
![Page 6: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sponging – have 2 spong-like structures that collect liquid food and move it into the food canal Ex: housefly
![Page 7: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
METAMORPHOSIS FOUR STAGES
1. EGG2. LARVA – worms or caterpillars3. PUPA4. ADULT – flies, beetles, etc.Examples of insects with complete metamorphosis include moths and butterflies, beetles and boll weevils.
![Page 8: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS
1. EGG2. NYMPH3. ADULT
EXAMPLE IS A GRASSHOPPER
![Page 9: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Insects must be killed when that are
actively feeding or moving on the plant.
![Page 10: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
WAYS INSECTS ARE BENEFICIAL
IMPROVE THE SOIL - Allow air to enter the soil or bury decaying parts of plants: ants, wild bees and beetles.HELP POLLINATE PLANTS - Spread pollen from plant to plant: bees, butterflies, wasps and
beetles.
![Page 11: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DESTROY INSECTS - Attack and destroy harmful insects: lady beetles, dragon flies, wasps and ants.
![Page 12: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Damage to plants by pests
Insects – damage depends on types of mouthparts
Chewing - parts of leaves eaten awayBeetles – eat leaves, stems, flowers and fruitCutworms – usually attach stems Caterpillars – larva of moths; eat young leaves and stem; make leaves curlGrasshoppers – eat all parts of the plant
![Page 13: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Damage from Sucking insects
Aphids – pierce and suck juices, called plant lice. Causes stunted growth and yellow spotted leaves. Sticky substance and black mold will appear on leaves, followed by ants eating the sticky stuff.
![Page 14: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SuckingMealy bugs –
Pierce and suck from underside of leaves and in the leaf axils causing yellow appearance
![Page 15: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SuckingScale – appear as black or brown raised lumps attached to stems and underside of leaves causing yellow leaves and stunted growth
![Page 16: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SuckingThrips
Chew and then suck causing plant tissue to become speckled or whitened, leaf tip to wither or curl up or die
![Page 17: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
WhitefliesFeed on underside of leaves causing yellowing. They will look like flying little white specks when plants are shaken or moved.
![Page 18: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Plant Diseases
Disease – a plant disorder caused by an infectious pathogen or agent3 things needed for disease
Host plantDisease causing organism or pathogenFavorable environment for disease

MAJOR TYPES OF PLANT DISEASES
ENVIRONMENTAL1. Nutrient deficiencies2. Damage to plant parts3. Chemical injuries4. Pollution injuries5. Weather6. Naturally-occurring genetic abnormalities
![Page 20: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PARASITIC1. Fungi2. Bacteria3. Viruses4. Parasitic plants – like mistletoe, lichens attach themselves to a host plant and suck food & life from it
![Page 21: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Plant diseases must be identified before they can be treatedWarmth and moist environment of greenhouses make plant diseases worse.

WAYS THAT PESTS DAMAGE PLANTS
Pests chew holes in plantsPests attack the vascular systemPests attack the fruitPests contaminate products Pests rob plants of foodPests damage land
![Page 37: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Biological uses natural enemies such as birds,
other insects, etc.
Lady bugs – eat aphids, so they help the gardener
control a bad insect
Ways to control pests:
![Page 38: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Chemicals using poisons: insecticides
Contact poisons affect the insect’s nervous system and must come into contact with insect to be effective.Stomach poisons are sprayed on plant surfaces or are taken into the plant through absorption. The insect must eat or suck the poison to get it into the
stomach. Most effective for chewing insects.SYSTEMIC POISONS - Poison is absorbed by the plant and when insects bites or sucks its juice, it gets poison. Systemic poisons are more effective for
controlling sucking insects like scale.FUMIGANTS – poisonous gases released into greenhouse and insects breath the gases

MECHANICAL METHODS OF PEST CONTROL
Mechanical uses physical control such as insect traps using screens over fans and other openings and washing plants with soapy water.PLOWING
MOWING
MULCHING

PESTICIDESChemicals used to control pestInsecticides - controls insectsNematocides - controls nematodesFungicides - controls fungiBactericides - used to control bacteriaHerbicides - used to control weeds
![Page 43: KEEPING PLANTS HEALTHY Unit E: MANAGING PESTS IN PLANTS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b23f12/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
TYPES OF HERBICIDESSELECTIVE HERBICIDES - Will only kill certain kinds of plants. NON-SELECTIVE HERBICIDES - Used to kill all vegetation where they are applied.TRANSLOCATED HERBICIDES - Absorbed into the plant and moved all through its parts; upset the growth process of weeds.

BIOLOGICAL PEST CONTROL - Using living organisms to control pests.
GENETIC METHODS - Develop crops that are resistant to pests
