The document discusses common sampling techniques used to monitor insect pests. It describes different types of insect pests categorized based on their occurrence, including regular pests, occasional pests, seasonal pests, and more. Various sampling methods are also outlined, such as absolute sampling techniques like visual examination, quadrate sampling, and emergence traps. Relative sampling techniques including sweep nets, vacuum traps, pheromone traps, and visual traps are also summarized. The document provides details on different survey types and the objectives of pest surveillance.
Parasitoids and Predators, their attributes.Bhumika Kapoor
Insect parasitoids have an immature life stage that develops on or within a single insect host, ultimately killing the host, hence the value of parasitoids as natural enemies. Adult parasitoids are free-living and may be predaceous. Parasitoids are often called parasites, but the term parasitoid is more technically correct. Most beneficial insect parasitoids are wasps or flies, although some rove beetles (see Predators) and other insects may have life stages that are parasitoids.
where as the Major characteristics of arthropod predators includes adults and immatures are often generalists rather than specialists, they generally are larger than their prey, they kill or consume many prey males, females, immatures, and adults may be predatory and they attack immature and adult prey.

Biological control (from the ecological viewpoint) is, “the action of parasites, predators, or pathogens in maintaining another organism's population density at a lower average than would occur in their absence.”
wing is one of the most characterstic feature of insects.
In majority of insects mesothorax and meta thorax carries a pair of wings.
On the basis of presence of wings class insecta is devided into 2 sub classes :
1. APTERIGOTA
2. PTERIGOTA

Dengue is a severe life threatening, vector borne disease. It infects a big number of people every year. it is disease of urban or peri-urban areas. Aedes aegypti is the principal mosquito responsible for most of the disease outbreaks in world. Aedes albopictus is another common species reported as secondary vector in many parts of the world. It is well known as Asian tiger mosquito having white strips on entire body. Aedes aegypti is also vector of the yellow fever, chikungunya and zika virus disease.
In the absence of any frequently available potent vaccine, application of effective vector control interventions is the best solution. Evidence decision making is key to vector control operation that is based on carefully collected data obtained through comprehensive vector surveillance.
Dengue Vector Surveillance provides fundamental information for application of an appropriate vector control intervention. Vector surveillance and control are strongly interlinked, and vector surveillance loses its worth without utilization of information for appropriate vector control. In Pakistan dengue is endemic in all parts of the country. First epidemic of the disease was reported in 1994 from karachi, thereafter, regular outbreaks are being observed after every 3-5 years.
How Does Farming Weeds Answer Questions About Pesticide Risk? Crop Protection...Covance
Covance was approached by a European company producing a standard herbicide for maize who had been asked by the regulator to conduct a study to provide data to refine the small mammal risk assessment. The concern was not only the residue on the maize, but also on the weeds that the herbicide targeted at the time of application.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

3. INTRODUCTION:
Pest ___ insect or other
organisms that cause
any damage to crop,
stored produce or
animal.
Pest that cause less
than 5% loss in yield,
are said to be
negligible.
Pest that cause 5-10%
loss in yield, are minor
pests
Pest that cause more
than 10% loss in yield,
are major pests.
5. REGULAR
PESTS

MONITORIN
G
Monitoring phytophagous insects and their
natural enemies is a fundamental tool in
IPM - for taking management decision
Monitoring means estimation of changes in
insect distribution and abundance.
It also includes the information about
insects, life history or influence of biotic
and abiotic factors on pest population .
14. PEST
SURVEILLAN
CE
• SURVEILLANCE IS THE MONITORING OF THE BEHAVIOR, ACTIVITIES, OR
OTHER CHANGING INFORMATION, USUALLY OF PEOPLE, INSECTS, AND
PATHOGENS
• THE WORD SURVEILLANCE COMES FROM THE FRENCH WORD FOR
"WATCHING OVER".
• IT IS SYSTEMATIC MONITORING OF PEST POPULATION, DISPERSION, AND
DYNAMICS IN DIFFERENT CROP GROWTH PHASES TO FOREWARN THE
FARMERS TO TAKE UP TIMELY REQUIRED CROP PROTECTION MEASURES.
• PEST SURVEILLANCE CAN BE DONE USING THE
• LIGHT TRAPS
• PHEROMONE TRAPS
• FOOD TRAPS
• ATTRACTANTS
• PITFALL TRAPS (FOR SOIL INSECTS),
• FIELD SCOUTING
15. IMPORTANCE
AND
ADVANTAGE
S OF PEST
SURVEILLAN
CE:
• USEFUL FOR PEST FORECASTING
• HELP TO PLAN CROPPING PATTERN
• HELP TO PLAN PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMERS'
• AIDS IN DEVELOPING MODELS, AND TO FIND-OUT
THE THUMB RULE MODELS.
• HELP IN APPLICATION OF INSECTICIDES (STAGE,
DOSE, TYPE ETC.)
• HELPS IN MAINTAINING STABILITY OF
AGROECOSYSTEM
16. COMPONEN
TS
REQUIRED
FOR PEST
SURVEILLAN
CE:
Identification of the Pest
Distribution pattern, and prevalence of the Pest
Severity of Pest
Levels of incidence of the pest
Losses due to pest incidence
Population dynamics
Weather parameters
Data on Natural enemies
17. BASIC
COMPONEN
TS FOR PEST
CONTROL
Three basic component
a) The level of incidence of the
pest species
b) The loss caused by the
incidence
c) The economic benefits, the
control will provide
18. PEST FORECASTING
Forecasting is the process of making
statements about events whose actual
outcomes (typically) have not yet been
observed.
A common place example might be
estimation of the expected value for some
variable of interest at some specified future
date. Prediction is a similar, but more
general term. Both might refer to formal
statistical methods employing time series,
cross-sectional or longitudinal data, or
alternatively to less formal judgmental
methods.
19. PEST
FORECASTIN
G
• PEST FORECASTING IS THE SYSTEMATIC
MONITORING OF PEST POPULATION, DISPERSION
AND DYNAMICS IN DIFFERENT CROP GROWTH
PHASES USING MODELS PREPARED BASED ON THE
PREVIOUS DATA, TO FOREWARN THE FARMERS TO
TAKE-UP TIMELY CROP PROTECTION MEASURES
NEEDED.
• PEST FORECASTING IS BASED ON THE MODELS
DEVELOPED USING THE PREVIOUS DATA POINTS
AND MANY ORGANIZATIONS ARE INVOLVED IN
FORECASTING OF PEST INCIDENCES AND
FOREWARNING ABOUT THE PEST OUTBREAKS.
21. TYPES OF PEST FORECASTING
• SHORT TERM FORECASTING
• BASED ON 1 OR 2 SEASONS
• THE PEST POPULATION IS
SAMPLED FROM A AREA
WITHIN A CROP USING
APPROPRIATE SAMPLING
TECHNIQUE AND THE
RELATIONSHIP IS ESTABLISHED
BETWEEN WEATHER DATA
AND PROGRESS IN PEST
INFESTATION.
• LONG TERM FORECASTING
• BASED ON EFFECT OF WEATHER
PARAMETERS ON PEST
• THE DATA ARE RECORDED OVER A
NUMBER OF YEARS ON WIDE
SEASONAL RANGE AND FROM
DIFFERENT AREAS. LONG-TERM
FORECASTING IS BASED ON
KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAJOR ASPECTS
OF THE PEST INSECT’S LIFE- CYCLE,
AND OF HOW IT IS REGULATED.
22. • TO KNOW EXISTING AND NEW PEST SPECIES
• TO ASSESS PEST POPULATION AND DAMAGE
AT DIFFERENT GROWTH STAGE OF CROP
• TO STUDY THE INFLUENCE OF WEATHER
PARAMETERS ON PEST
• TO STUDY CHANGING PEST STATUS (MINOR
TO MAJOR)
• TO ASSESS NATURAL ENEMIES AND THEIR
INFLUENCE ON PESTS’ EFFECT OF NEW
CROPPING PATTERN AND VARIETIES ON PEST
OBJECTIVES OF PEST
SURVEILLANCE
24. TYPES OF
SURVEY: • Roving survey
• Fixed plot survey
There are two types of survey
25. ROVING
SURVEY
• ASSESSMENT OF PEST
POPULATION/DAMAGE
FROM RANDOMLY
SELECTED SPOTS
REPRESENTING LARGER
AREA. LARGE AREA
SURVEYED IN SHORT
PERIOD. PROVIDES
INFORMATION ON PEST
LEVEL OVER LARGE AREA
26. FIXED PLOT SURVEY
ASSESSMENT OF PEST POPULATION/DAMAGE FROM A
FIXED PLOT SELECTED IN A FIELD. THE DATA ON PEST
POPULATION/DAMAGE RECORDED PERIODIC FROM
SOWING TILL HARVEST.
30. ABSOLUTE SAMPLING
• TO COUNT ALL THE PESTS OCCURRING IN A PLOT. ABSOLUTE METHODS
ESTIMATE DENSITY FROM PRECISE AREA; USED TO COMPARE DENSITIES BASED
ON AREA. POPULATION INDEX MEASURES PRODUCT OR EFFECT OF A
POPULATION.
32. VISUAL
EXAMINATION
• USED FOR DETECTING HOUSEHOLD AND
STRUCTURAL PESTS, AND IMPORTANT WHERE
THE INSECTS THAT MIGHT BE ENCOUNTERED
ARE UNKNOWN, CRYPTIC, OR VARIABLE
• DOGS AND ELECTRONIC DETECTOR ARE
SOMETIMES USED TO FIND INVISIBLE
TUNNELING LIKE THAT WHICH OCCURRED IN
THIS WALL BASEBOARD, FOLLOWED BY VISUAL
CONFIRMATION.
VISUAL EXAMINATION IS OFTEN AN
EFFECTIVE, IF TIME CONSUMING, WAY
TO SAMPLE ARTHROPODS
33. QUADRATE
SAMPLING
• A MITE BRUSHING MACHINE BRUSHES ITEMS
FROM THE SURFACE OF LEAVES, PROPELLING
THEM DOWNWARD ONTO A THIN FILM OF OIL
THAT COATS A GLASS PLATE. THUS, IT IS
POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF
MITES PER LEAF.
QUADRATE SAMPLING DELINEATES
AN EXACT AREA OF SAMPLING,
THOUGH THE AREA NEED NOT
REALLY BE 4-SIDED.
34. LIVE TRAPS
• IT IS THE COMBINATION OF ANIMAL
POPULATION, DISEASE INCIDENCE AND INSECT
VECTOR POPULATION THAT DETERMINES THE
THREAT TO HUMANS.
ARE USED TO CAPTURE SMALL
ANIMALS SUCH AS RODENTS, WHICH
THEN CAN BE EXAMINED FOR BOTH
TICK AND FLEA VECTORS
35. EMERGENCE TRAPS
• USUALLY SUCH TRAPS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE INSECT’S TENDENCY TO MOVE TO LIGHT
AND HAVE A CAPTURING OR KILLING
MECHANISM AT THE TOP OF THE TRAP.
OFTEN ARE USED TO CAPTURE
INSECTS THAT LIVE BELOWGROUND
OR UNDER WATER
36. RELATIVE
SAMPLIN
G
• TO MEASURE PEST IN TERMS OF SOME VALUES
WHICH CAN BE COMPARED OVER TIME AND
SPACE E.G. LIGHT TRAP CATCH, PHEROMONE
TRAP. RELATIVE METHODS ESTIMATE DENSITY
WITHOUT STRICT REGARD TO AREA SAMPLED;
USED TO COMPARE AMONG EFFORTS BASED ON
EFFORT.
.
37. EXAMPLES:
• SWEEP NET
• VACUUM TRAP
• TIMED COUNTS
• TRAPS
• VISUAL
• CHEMICAL
• INTERCEPTION
A PHEROMONE-BAITED TRAP LIKE THIS
CAPTURES MOTHS WHEN THEY FLY AND CRAWL
UPWARDS AND ARE CAPTURED IN THE
CONTAINER ON TOP
38. SWEEP NET
• SWEEPING WITH A NET IS
A VERY COMMON AND
INEXPENSIVE METHOD OF
SAMPLING. FLIGHT TRAPS
COST SUBSTANTIALLY MORE
AND ARE LIMITED TO
FLYING INSECTS.

39. VACUUM TRAP
• VARIOUS VACUUM SAMPLERS ARE USED AND
ARE OFTEN CALLED “DVACS” AFTER THE
ORIGINAL MODEL. THEY ARE EFFICIENT, BUT
COSTLY AND NOISY TO OPERATE. VACUUM
SAMPLER IS USED TO VACUUM THE CONTENTS
OF A BOX PLACED OVER SHRUBS. THIS
EFFECTIVELY CONVERTS ITS OPERATION FROM
A RELATIVE TO AN ABSOLUTE SAMPLING
PROCEDURE.

41. Traps are widely used for insect sampling and
monitoring.
Light traps were more popular before the advent of
pheromones. They have the advantage, and
disadvantage, of being non-selective.
They can be operated off battery or household
current. Here the battery is being recharged by a solar
panel.
42. VISUAL TRAPS
• A FRUIT MODEL MAKES A GOOD VISUAL TRAP,
SUCH AS THIS GRAPEFRUIT MODEL. WHEN
COVERED WITH ADHESIVE,
• IT ALLOWS ESTIMATION OF ADULT NUMBERS.
URBAN PEST CONTROL COMPANIES OFTEN USE
STICKY TRAPS TO SAMPLE FOR INSECT PESTS IN
COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS AND SCHOOLS.
• THEY ARE NOT VISUALLY ATTRACTIVE (SOME
WOULD DESCRIBE THEM AS DISGUSTING), SO THEY
MUST BE PLACED IN OUT-OF-THE-WAY PLACES,
SUCH AS STOREROOMS.
• INSECTS STUCK IN ADHESIVE ARE MESSY AND CAN
BE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AND IDENTIFY. ALSO,
SUCH TRAPS MAY NOT BE SELECTIVE
This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
43. BUCKET TRAP
• THE BUCKET TRAP AND
WING TRAP INTRODUCE
SELECTIVITY BY USING
PHEROMONES AS LURES.
This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND
44. PHEROMONE
TRAPS
• PHEROMONE TRAPS ARE POPULAR
BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE
SPECIFICITY, ARE COMMERCIALLY
AVAILABLE, AND CAN BE USED
UNDER A VARIETY OF
CIRCUMSTANCES.
• THOUGH PHEROMONE TRAPS
USUALLY RELY ON ADHESIVE FOR
INSECT RETENTION, THIS IS NOT
ALWAYS OPTIMAL
This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC
45. MOSQUITO
TRAP
• QUITE VARIED, BUT
OFTEN INVOLVE THE USE OF
DRY ICE AS A SOURCE OF
CARBON DIOXIDE, AND A
SMALL FAN TO BLOW THE
MOSQUITOES INTO A
RECEPTACLE.
This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
46. FLIGHT TRAP
• FLIGHT TRAP, CALLED A MALAISE
TRAP, IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN
INTERCEPTION TRAP.
• THERE IS NO ACTIVE ELEMENT
TO THE TRAP, THEY ARE FLYING
INSECTS ARE INTERCEPTED,
CRAWL UPWARDS, AND ARE
CAPTURED IN A JAR.
• THE OTHER COMMON
INTERCEPTION TECHNIQUE IS A
TRANSPARENT PANE OF PLASTIC
OR GLASS WHICH INTERRUPTS
FLIGHT. INSECTS ARE CAPTURED
ON ADHESIVE OR FALL INTO A
RESERVOIR OR RECEPTACLE.

49. FIXED
SAMPLE
SIZE
• MOST COMMON APPROACH (E.G., “10”) THOUGH
OPTIMAL SIZE CAN BE CALCULATED. OPTIMAL
SAMPLE SIZE DECREASES WITH POPULATION
DENSITY.
• SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET BY WITH FEWER SAMPLES
AT HIGH DENSITY.
50. OPTIMAL
SAMPLE
SIZE
• THERE ARE VARIOUS MEANS TO CALCULATE THE
OPTIMAL SAMPLE SIZE IF YOU ELECT TO USE A
FIXED SAMPLE.
• YOU WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU CAN BE SURE
THAT YOU OBTAIN AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT
OF THE POPULATION.
• N = S2 / E X
• WHERE N IS THE NUMBER OF SAMPLES, S IS THE
STANDARD DEVIATION, E IS THE PREDETERMINED
STANDARD ERROR AS A DECIMAL OF THE MEAN
(IN THIS CASE 0.05), X IS THE MEAN.
51. SEQUENTI
AL
SAMPLING
:
• VARIABLE NUMBER OF SAMPLES TAKEN. SAMPLE
UNTIL THE POPULATION CAN BE CLASSIFIED (E.G.,
NO THREAT OR CONTROL NEEDED).
• MORE SAMPLING AT INTERMEDIATE LEVELS AND
EFFICIENT SAMPLING METHOD.
52. BINOMIAL
SAMPLIN
G
• RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN % OF INFESTED SAMPLING
UNITS (E.G. LEAVES) AT DIFFERENT PEST
DENSITIES. TALLY NUMBER OF LEAVES INFESTED
INSTEAD OF COUNTING PESTS. ESTIMATES
UNRELIABLE WHEN INFESTATIONS ARE HIGH (≥
80%)
RECORDS PRESENCE OR ABSENCE; PROPORTION
INFESTED OR DAMAGED
DOES NOT TABULATE NUMBER OF INSECTS
54. 1. IN SITU COUNTS
• VISUAL OBSERVATION ON NUMBER OF INSECTS ON PLANT CANOPY (EITHER
ENTIRE PLOT OR RANDOMLY SELECTED PLOT).
• COUNTS OF INSECT/MITES OR DAMAGE DIRECTLY ON LEAVES, STEMS, FRUIT,
ROOT. APHIDS, SCALE INSECTS’ MITES, LEAF MINERS, SMALL CATERPILLARS,
LEAF HOPPERS, IMMATURE PSYLLA. 10X-20X HAND LENS USEFUL FOR THIS
METHOD.
55. KNOCK DOWN AND NETTING
• COLLECTING INSECTS FROM AN AREA
BY REMOVING FROM CROP AND
(SUDDEN TRAP) COUNTING (JARRING)
• IN THIS TECHNIQUE, USE OF SWEEP
NET FOR HOPPERS, ODONATES,
GRASSHOPPER
57. STAGE OF
SAMPLING
• USUALLY MOST INJURIOUS STAGE COUNTED
• SOMETIMES EGG MASSES COUNTED PRACTICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
• HOPPERS - NYMPHS AND ADULT COUNTED
59. DECISION MAKING
Population or damage
assessed from the crop
Compared with ETL and
EIL
When pest level crosses
ETL, control measure
must be taken to
prevent pest from
reducing EIL.
60. ECONOMI
C INJURY
LEVEL
• DEFINED AS THE LOWEST POPULATION DENSITY
THAT WILL CAUSE ECONOMIC DAMAGE. IT CAN
ALSO BE DEFINED AS A CRITICAL DENSITY WHERE
THE LOSS CAUSED BY THE PEST EQUALS THE COST
OF CONTROL MEASURE.
61. EIL
FORMULA
• EIL = ____C________
V X I X D X K
EIL = ECONOMIC INJURY LEVEL IN INSECTS/PRODUCTION (OR)
INSECTS/HA
C = COST OF MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY PER UNIT OF PRODUCTION
(RS. /HA)
V = MARKET VALUE PER UNIT OF YIELD OR PRODUCT (RS. /TONNE)
I = CROP INJURY PER INSECT (PER CENT DEFOLIATION/INSECT)
D = DAMAGE OR YIELD LOSS PER UNIT OF INJURY (TONNE
LOSS/% DEFOLIATION)
K = PROPORTIONATE REDUCTION IN INJURY FROM PESTICIDE
USE
62. MONITORIN
G DEGREE
DAYS
• DETERMINE BEST TIME TO SAMPLE FOR OR

65. SAMPLING
TOOLS
Collection bags and vials –Send pest /damage samples to others
Traps/ trap parts (lures) –There’s always a broken trap
Camera –Send pest /damage photo to others for ID
References –field guides, fact sheets, pictures of pests/damage
GPS unit –relocate sample sites accurately
Pocket knife
Cutting shoots, scraping at trunks skinning berries.
Shovel /sturdy trowel –digging soil
66. CONCLUSIO
N
• IN SUMMARY, THE WIDESPREAD USE OF
INSECTICIDES IS INEFFECTIVE AND ECONOMICALLY
WASTEFUL IN THE LONG RUN. MANY INSECTICIDES
DO IN FACT ACCOMPLISH THE INTENDED TASK OF
CONTROLLING PEST POPULATIONS. HOWEVER,
THEIR DETRIMENTAL HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL
EFFECTS MAKE THEM AN INADEQUATE LONG-TERM
SOLUTION. IN ADDITION, MOST SYNTHETIC AND
NATURAL PESTICIDES ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
INEFFECTIVENESS DUE TO RESISTANCE BUILDUP IN
INSECTS. THUS, THE ONLY VIABLE SOLUTION FOR
THE FUTURE IS INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT.
THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS AND REDUCED SOCIAL
COSTS OF THESE SYSTEMS PRESENT A LOGICAL
ANSWER TO THE PEST CONTROL PROBLEM.
