Pesticide Appliator Certification 1

TermDefinition
Pest resistance When a plant or animal no longer reacts to a chemical made to control it.
biomagnification when chemicals accumulate in the cells of smaller animals and then are eaten my larger animals and the chemicals still stay-- up the food chain.
Food chain the sequence of animals feeding in the natural environment.
integrated pest management program (IPM) when you combine several methods to target the pests.
Natural controls happen in nature without any human interference... like floods, droughts...
Applied controls this includes biological, mechanical, cultural, physical, genetic, chemical, and regulatory methods. This is whenever humans get involved to control a pest.
Biological controls when humans use other animals (living things) to control another animal or plant.
Mechanical controls This includes cultivation and exclusion and trapping. (cultivation is tilling the ground, making irrigation ditches. and exclusion is putting up the screen in the window or the electric line etc. Trapping is just trapping the little buggers :)
Cultural Controls These are the things that people do to their lawns or crops that have just become normal practices because they produce the best results.
Sanitation This is when we get rid of the pests' food source or breeding source. Like draining standing water so mosquitoes can't breed.
Modifying the physical environment Controlling the temperature, light, or humidity in a place so pests won't survive there.
Genetic Controls Breeding cows so that they will be more resistant to diseases.
Chemical Controls Using pesticides that will attack a certain pest. There are many pesticides that are specific to the type of pest that they are attacking.
Selectivity A selective pesticide will focus on one specific pest. While a non-selective pesticide will kill several different pests.
