germination test
seed-borne pests interception
deferred inspection
post entry quarantine
Isolation
plant pathogens are intercepted by
Rearing-out the immature stages
insect pests are intercepted by
Direct examination
applicable to fungi, bacteria, nematodes
Thorough land preparation
this can adversely affect the pest present in the stubbles and in the soil
Use of resistant varieties
once resistant varieties are available, this practive is the easiest and the most effective to implement. It is considered safe to the end users/consumers and does not pollute the environment
Use of healthy, pest free certified planting materials
this strategy prevents the introduction of any pest in the area where taht pest is not yet present or have not yet established. Also reduce the sourfce of the pest at the start of the cropping season
Crop rotation
This is one way of starvng the pest by breaking the continuity of food supply, However, care must be undertaken in such a way that the crop to be grown in succession is no the alternated host of the pest attacking the crop grown in the previous season
Timing of planting
This is necessary to either delay or advance the planting of the crop so that the susceptible stage of the crop will not coincide with the peak population of the pest.
Sanitation
removal of possible harborers of pest or alternate host through the removal of crop debris from previous cropping season
Proper crop spacing
for ease in cultivating and weed and to improve the microclimate of the crop which is unfavorable for the pathogen
Pruning
prevents the transfer of pests from one leaf to another in case of overlapping branches, also affect the microclimate
Thinning
this avoids competition between plant s and improce microclimate of the crop that will not be favorable
Crop diversification
to encourage natural enemies because each crop has its own pest and that pest has its own natural enemies so the attention of the pest spread out, pest damage is lesser compared to monoculture cropping
Use of trap crops
planting a susceptible crop or host earlier than the main crop to attract pest like insect and nematodes and destroying them by chemical or physical means before they can reproduce thus reducing pest populaton before the crop is planted
Crotalaria sp, Kamatique or Impatiens balsamina
trap crops used in exp. 2
MOCAP
used to kill the nematodes in exp. 2
Companion crop
any plants that does not compete with crop, and brings greater balance and diversity than monocrop by attracting natural enemies or by repelling pests
onions, basil, parsley, marigold
companion crops
polyethelyne sheets
used as mulches
Bactrocera cucurbitae
ampalaya fruit fly
160 F for 30 mins
soil pasteurization temperature
182 F for 30 mins
soil pasteurization te,p for resistant weed seed
20 days
days for trap crop to be uprooted
Sclerotium rolfsii
a soil-borne pathogen killed during soil pasteurization
roasted mature coconut flesh
a bait used for rodents
Live rodent trap
a trap for rodents
Semio chemicals
used to communicate, locate food source or a mate, escape natural enemies, avoid competition, or overcome a natural defense system of a host
Mating disruption
sex pheromones in the suspended in the air for a long time causes?

prolific, and voraciousness
why is the golden apple snail a pest
Allelopathy
pesticidal activity
Chromolaena odorata, Ageratum conyzoides
leachates used
