Definition
derived from ectodermal tissue (which is shed during ecdysis)
Term
where the midgut is derived from
Definition
derived from mesodermal tissue (one cell layer thick, protected by peritrophic membrance)
Term
which insect population estimate method is problematic and not very trustworthy?
Definition
absolute
Term
who cares about economic thresholds, economic injury levels, asthetic injury levels, and action thresholds?
Definition
Academicians, Credentialing Agencies, Policy Makers
Term
who was to enforce the 1906 Federal Food and Drugs Act?
Definition
the Secretary of Ag
Term
why Economic Threshold (ET) differs from the Economic Injury Level (EIL) - in theory
Definition
because ET is an operational rule(-of-thumb) while EIL should never be attained.
Term
why IPM isn't one size fits all
Definition
because it differs from place to place
Term
why IPM sometimes increases costs
Definition
because you gotta keep an eye on stuff
Term
why annihilating insects is not the answer
Definition
because of their importance to the ecosystem, such as...
-feeding birds, lizards, and other wildlife (source of food)
-pollinating
-breaking down of soil nutrients and compost
-becoming soil nutrients/compost themselves when they die

therefore, they are a vital link and removing them from your garden or yard completely would do more harm than good
Term
why ants can be secondary pests
Definition
because they take care of the primary pests
Term
why dust isn't very popular for pesticides
Definition
Dusts are very fine particle size and inhalation is an issue, that is, danger of breathing it in
Term
why early people had metaphysical cures
Definition
because they had no sense of pest biology or pest status
Term
why few systems use the EIL concept
Definition
because of its major limitations
Term
why grocery stores are cold
Definition
because it slows down life cycle and extends shelf life
Term
why habitat modification is concerned with lighting patterns
Definition
because many insects and their predators are attracted to lights
Term
why insect repellents with harmful chemicals are often unnecessary
Definition
because of the wide array of plant-based repellents on the market now
Term
why insecticides that affect molting can also affect eggs
Definition
because the eggs also have a chitinous shell
Term
why it's important to know the mouthparts of an insect
Definition
so you can know how to intervene
Term
why most action thresholds are very nominal
Definition
because it's very hard to convince somebody to do nothing regarding pests
Term
why sanitation is critical to pest management
Definition
because it reduces food and water sources to pests
Term
why soft parts of the exoskeleton are needed
Definition
for the insect to be able to move
Term
why some action thresholds (AT's) are less frequently used than others
Definition
more complex and require more inputs
Term
why some insects can survive 2 year rotation
Definition
delayed egg hatching
Term
why some sampling techniques might be more appropriate for IPM than others
Definition
depending on the system, some are more appropriate than others
Term
why spraying insecticides doesn’t do much good for millipedes
Definition
because it doesn’t kill them right away
Term
why there's a lack of workable IPM models with reasonable action thresholds
Definition
most likely a result of the site-specific nature of a realistic IPM program… one size does NOT fit all.
Term
why there's pressure to amend the list of acceptable ingredients in organic production
Definition
Third party auditors are involved and with widespread sales in large chain markets there is pressure to amend or add to the list of acceptable ingredients.
Term
why verifiable is important in IPM
Definition
because it's a key phrase in the regulatory stuff in IPM
Term
why we have a protocol for biological controls nowadays
Definition
because of inadvertent side effects
Term
wolbachia
Definition
some type of pathogen that does crazy stuff inside cells

basically some kind of parasitic bacteria
Term
you need to know this to determine pragmatic action thresholds
Definition
the pest biology and endpoint of the IPM program
Term
you still need this for the review of the program to be accomplished
Definition
a trained person on the ground to make decisions and at the very least accurately record all interventions
Term
‘synthetic’ poisons widely used… ‘better living through chemistry’ DDT, Chlorinated hydrocarbons in...
