24. What defines a 'pest'? Give 5 examples of different kinds of pests (L.e., not all plant eating
Insects). Explain why one of these is a pest.38. What do 'non-selectlve/broad spectrum' herbloldes
(e.g., Paraquat) kll and why are they used (use an example)? 39. Glyphosate (Roundup) is a
broad spectrum herblolde - so how can it be used in agrlcultural crops if it kills all plants? 40.
Cenes from what organlsm are Incorporated Into corn producing what we call 'BT corn? What do
those genes do with respect to pest control? What kind of pest (Order of Insects) does it control?
41.How does a farmer stop Insect pests from developing reslstance to BT corn? 42. What is
"blologlcal pest management'?44.What are the key features of blologlcal pest
management/sustainable agrlculture? 45. The frequency and Intensity of what ecologlcal
phenomena distingulshes agroecosystems from natural ecosystems? What are the consequences
of thls practlce with respect to specles dlversity and the effectiveness of natural blologlcal control
of pest specles? 46. Describe, using an example, traditlonal (pre-industrial agriculture) practlces
that enhanced blologlcal control and nutrlent cyollng. How dld these practlces help control weed
and Insect pests and maintain soll fertllity? 47. In the landscape complexity armyworm/parasitold
study I dlscussed how dld landscape complexity promote parasltold populations and blologlcal
control of armyworms?.
