Pest of forest nurseries
Forest nurseries are important for producing high-quality tree seedlings for reforestation. However, seedlings in nurseries face damage from various insect pests and diseases. Insect pests that commonly damage forest nursery seedlings include white grubs, root feeders, defoliators, and sap suckers. These pests feed on and damage different plant parts like roots, leaves, and sapwood. Common control methods for these pests include insecticide applications and soil fumigation. With the phasing out of the fumigant methyl bromide, there is a need to develop alternative pest control strategies to protect seedlings in forest nurseries.
Physiology of Integuments and moulting in insects
This document discusses the physiology of the integument and moulting process in insects. It begins by defining physiology and the integument, which is the exoskeleton or body wall of insects. It then describes the structure of the cuticle, which makes up the integument, and its various layers. The document outlines the process of moulting, which is controlled by hormones like ecdysone and juvenile hormone. It explains each step of moulting from behavioral changes to shedding the old cuticle. In conclusion, it lists several references used in the document.
Parasitoids and Predators, their attributes.
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.
The importance of insects the importance of insects in
Insects play several important ecological, economic, and nutritional roles:
1) Ecologically, insects act as decomposers that break down organic material and enrich soil nutrients, and also serve as important pollinators and seed dispersers.
2) Economically, insects produce useful substances like honey, wax, silk and are used as fishing bait.
3) Insects are also a source of food for humans in some areas and provide protein, vitamins and minerals.
Beetles
This document discusses the management of various wood-boring beetles and defoliating insects that impact forests. It describes the bionomics and lifecycles of the Red Spotted Longicorn Beetle, Cylindrical Powderpost Beetle, Flattened Powderpost Beetle, Flatheaded Beetle, and discusses general defoliators and sap suckers.

Order lepidoptera_ppt by Mah Rukh
Order Lepidoptera includes butterflies, moths, and skippers. It is one of the largest insect orders, with over 180,000 described species worldwide. Lepidoptera undergo a complete life cycle of egg, caterpillar, pupa, and adult. As caterpillars, they are herbivorous, while adults feed on nectar and pollen. Some species are major agricultural pests, while others play important roles in ecosystems through pollination and nutrient cycling. Economically, silkworm moths produce silk, while other moths have been used for biological control. Major families include Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, and Noctuidae.
ENTO 231_L.No.1_Ecology.ppt
This document provides an overview of insect ecology and its importance in integrated pest management (IPM). It defines key terms like population, community, ecosystem, habitat, and niche. It also discusses abiotic environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and rainfall and their effects on insect development, fecundity, distribution, and movement. Ecological studies of these factors are important for IPM as they can help explain pest outbreaks, identify natural controls, and allow for forecasting of pest attacks to time control measures effectively.
Aphid
There are approximately 4000 species of aphids worldwide, with about 250 being serious plant pests. Scientists believe the diversity of aphid species increased as they adapted to flowering plants. Aphids vary in size from 1-10mm and may have wings. They feed by tapping into plant phloem using their proboscis and stylets. Aphids have few natural predators but are eaten by insects like ladybugs and mantises. Their populations can be controlled through removing host plants, adjusting fertilizer levels, using protective covers for seedlings, and applying approved insecticides.
Forest protection
Heart rot is a fungal disease that causes decay of the heartwood in tree trunks and branches. Fungi enter through wounds in the bark and slowly decay the inner wood, weakening the structural integrity of the tree. This can cause branches and trunks to break. Heart rot has major economic and environmental impacts. It causes significant losses to the logging industry by damaging timber. In forests, trees weakened by heart rot are more susceptible to disturbances and allow new growth, changing the forest environment over time. Heart rot is diagnosed through visual examination of symptoms and signs like mushrooms or decayed wood.
Physical control viki
Physical control methods aim to reduce pest populations by altering the physical environment or directly impacting pests physically. This includes using temperature, moisture, light, sound, and radiation to control pests. Specific techniques discussed are heating or cooling stored products to target temperatures, using steam or hot water vapors, manipulating oxygen levels, using light traps or sterilizing pests with radiation. Desiccants like diatomaceous earth or china clay are also reviewed which work by absorbing the waxy cuticle of insects and dehydrating them.

NEONICOTINOIDS & ITS EFFECT ON HONEY BEES
Neonicotinoids are a class of systemic insecticides related to nicotine. They are widely used globally due to their effectiveness against insects and low toxicity to mammals. However, research has shown they are highly toxic to bees even at low levels. Bees can be directly exposed through contaminated nectar or pollen or indirectly through dust from seed coating or honeydew from insects exposed to neonics. Both acute and chronic exposure has been shown to impair bee health and cause colony collapse disorder. Given bees play a key role in pollinating many important agricultural crops, protecting honeybee populations from neonicotinoids is important for global food security and agriculture.

Insects resistance crops
This document discusses insect-resistant crops, including how genes from microorganisms, plants, and animals can confer insect resistance when introduced into crop plants. It covers various types of insect-resistant crops like Bt corn, rice, and cotton that have been commercialized. While insect-resistant crops can reduce pesticide usage, some have concerns about their safety and impact. The technology continues to advance as new genes are discovered and combined to target more pests and prevent insect resistance.
Transgenic plants for insect resistance (review)
Transgenic plants can be engineered for insect resistance using two main approaches. The first involves introducing genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that code for delta endotoxins toxic to insects. The second uses plant-derived genes encoding proteins like protease inhibitors, lectins, and chitinases that interfere with insect growth. While Bt crops were first commercialized in the 1990s, research continues to identify new insecticidal genes from bacteria, fungi, and plants to combat evolving insect resistance and protect crops. Field testing of transgenic plants is needed to evaluate new gene sources and potential for controlling agricultural insect pests over the long term.
Breeding for resistance to disease and insect pests(biotic stress)
Breeding for resistance to plant diseases and insect pests (biotic stress) involves targeting six main groups of pests: airborne fungi, soil-borne fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and insects. Plant breeders develop strategies to breed cultivars resistant to these types of biotic stress through an understanding of the biology and damage caused. Breeding can involve improving vertical/qualitative resistance to specific pathogen races or strains, as well as horizontal/partial resistance effective against all pathogen variants. Strategies include using differential varieties to identify pathogen races, planned release of resistance genes, gene pyramiding, combining vertical and horizontal resistance, and utilizing wild plant germplasm.

Forest
This document provides an overview of physical forestry resources. It begins by defining what a forest is as a community of trees, shrubs, herbs and other plants that cover a considerable area. It then discusses the different types of forests found around the world, including tropical evergreen forests and mangrove forests. The document outlines the structure and importance of forests, noting they regulate temperature, prevent soil erosion, and provide habitat for wildlife. It also discusses threats to forests like deforestation and provides suggestions for forest conservation and ways individuals can help protect forests.
mechanism of resistance in plant against insects
The document discusses different mechanisms of resistance in plants against insects, including antixenosis, antibiosis, and tolerance. It provides details on each mechanism:
Antixenosis deters or reduces insect colonization through physical and chemical traits that discourage feeding, oviposition, and orientation. Antibiosis impacts insects after colonization through toxic compounds or nutrient deficiencies that cause death, stunted growth, or other negative effects. Tolerance does not affect insect population growth directly but raises the damage threshold for the plant. The document then focuses on specific antixenotic and antibiotic plant traits and compounds.

Forest Fragmentation: The States of Our Forests & Prospects for Conservation
Forest fragmentation reduces habitat area and increases isolation. It progresses from habitat loss to perforation to further reduction in patch sizes. Graph theoretic approaches can assess connectivity through representation of patches as nodes and dispersal corridors as links. For tree canopy in Prince George's County, MD, all patches are connected at 2,300 feet. Top patches providing intra-patch, flux, and connector connectivity are identified. Protecting these high ranking patches preserves around 35-47% of connectivity based on different graph metrics.
April 6th Presentation: Greenbelt Forest Stewards
Here are the key things to assess regarding exposure:
- Sunlight - Note direction of sun exposure and hours of direct sun. This will help determine shade-loving vs. sun-loving plants.
- Wind - Assess prevailing wind directions and speeds. Strong winds may require wind tolerant species.
- Microclimates - Note any areas that receive more/less sun or rain due to structures or landforms. These microclimates allow for more plant diversity.
- Frost pockets - Low-lying areas prone to frost should be avoided for frost-sensitive plants.
Documenting exposure will help select plants adapted to the specific sun/shade, wind and temperature conditions on your site. This improves plant health
