  1. Pest Management Essential Standard 8.00- Compare distinguishing chrematistics of pest.

  2. Objective 8.01 • Discuss the anatomy and life cycle of pest.

  3. What is an insect? • Small animals that have three body regions and three pairs of legs equaling six legs • Body regions • head • thorax • abdomen

  4. Types of Insects • The five types of mouthparts are important in identifying and controlling insects. • Chewing • Piercing • Rasping • Siphoning • Sponging

  5. Chewing Insects • Insects tear, chew or grind food • Examples • grasshopper • beetle

  6. Piercing Insects • Punctures plant and sucks the sap

  7. Rasping insect • Rasps or breaks surface and sucks sap • Example • thrips

  8. Siphoning insects • Have a coiled tube they dip into liquid food such as nectar and draw it in • Example • butterfly

  9. Sponging Insects • Have two sponge-like structures that collect liquid food and move it into the food canal • Example • housefly

  10. Life Cycles • Complete metamorphosis has four stages • egg • larva-worms or caterpillars • pupa • adult-flies, beetles, etc.

  11. Life Cycles • Incomplete metamorphosis has three stages • egg • nymph • Adult • Insects must be killed when they are feeding or actively moving on the plant

  12. Life Cycles

  13. Chewing Insects • Parts of leaves are eaten away • beetles • cutworms • caterpillars • grasshoppers

  14. Chewing Insects • Beetles • eat leaves, stems, flowers, fruit and nuts • Cutworms • usually attack stems, but may eat other plant parts

  15. Chewing Insects • Caterpillars • larva of moths and butterflies • fuzzy or hairy • eat young leaves and stems • roll up in leaves making leaves curl • Grasshoppers • eat all parts of plants

  16. Sucking Insects • Aphids • Leaf bugs • Mealy bugs • Scale • Thrips • Whiteflies

  17. Aphids • Pierce and suck juices • known as plant lice • cause stunted growth and yellow spotted leaves • causes sticky substances and black mold • will attract ants

  18. Aphids

  19. Leaf Bugs • Cause plants to look unhealthy • plants will lose their normal color and wilt

  20. Leaf Bugs

  21. Mealy Bugs • Pierce and suck from underside of leaves and in leaf axils causing yellow appearance and sticky secretions

  22. Mealy bugs

  23. Scale • Appear as black or brown raised lumps attached to stems and underside of leaves causing yellow leaves and stunted growth

  24. Scale

  25. Thrips • Chew and then suck causing plant tissue to become speckled or whitened, leaf tip to wither, curl up, or die

  26. Thrips

  27. Whiteflies • Feed on underside of young leaves causing yellowing • will look like flying little white specks when plants are shaken

  28. Whiteflies

  29. Mites • Attack underside of leaves causing gray to grayish-green spots • severe infestations cause webbing

  30. Mites

  31. Plant Diseases

  32. Objective 8.02 • Discuss diseases and viruses.

  33. Diseases • A disease is a plant disorder caused by an infectious pathogen or agent

  34. Diseases • There are 3 conditions necessary for diseases in plants • host plant • disease causing organism or pathogen must be present • favorable environment for disease organism to develop

  35. Pathogens • There are four groups of pathogens • bacteria • fungi • viruses • parasitic plants (attach to plants) • mistletoe • dodder • lichens

  36. Bacteria • Single celled microorganisms • Examples of common bacteria diseases: • Leaf spot • Rings of different shades of brown, green or yellow spots on leaves. • Blight • cause plant to quickly turn brown or black as if they had been burned

  37. Blight

  38. Leaf Spots

  39. Fungi • Cannot make their own food • They develop hyphae, structures that grow and absorb nutrients from the host plant • Many fungi are spread by spores. • Examples of common fungi diseases: • Damping off causes young plants and seedling to rot off at the soil level. • Rust cause small spots on the leaves that resemble yellow, orange, brown or red rust mainly on the underside of leaves. • Powdery mildew grows on the upper and lower leaf surface as white or gray powdery substance. It is a common disease of houseplants • Galls are round swellings or growths usually on tree branches or leaves.

  40. Damping off • A fungal disease that causes young plants and seedlings to rot off at soil level

  41. Damping Off

  42. Rust • Causes small spots on leaves that resemble yellow, orange, brown or red rust mainly on the underneath side of leaves

  43. Rust

  44. Mildew • Grows on leaf surfaces--both upper and lower--as white, gray or purple spots

  45. Gall • Swellings or growths on plants

  46. Viruses • Viruses are pathogens with an extremely narrow host range • Examples of common viruses: • Tobacco mosaic virus which attacks tomatoes, peppers, poinsettias and tobacco. • Can be transfer from human hands of a smoker • Be sure to wash your hands before working with plants to control the spread of this virus • Cause leave to have irregular mottled areas with patterns ranging from dark to light green and yellow to white

  47. Mosaic • Caused by viruses that make the leaves have irregular mottled areas with patterns ranging from dark green to light green to yellow to white

  48. Mosaic

  49. Others Diseases

  50. Canker • Causes open wounds on woody plants
