only use organic control options to control the pests identified
all of the above
the life cycle of an organism is
the period of the life of the organism where it is able to reproduce (sexually or asexually)
the period of an organisms from start of growth to sexual maturity
The period of an organisms from sexual maturity to death
it is the different growth stages of an organism for the entire period of the life of the organism
why would a farmer use IPM program
cheaper than only using chemical control
allows controls to be used at all stages of the pest lifecycle
reduces the development of chemical resistance in the pest
can reduse off target damage when treating the pest
which of the following are examples of biological control
using goats to eat blackberries bushes
using green lacewings to controll light brown apple moths lava in a fruit crop
the use of moramma dogs to increase lamb survival rates in sheep
the release of gause spider mite in an area infested with gause

Habitat removal
mulching weeds
planting grasses to compete with the weeds
Improving crop ventalation (air flow) to reduce the growth of fungi
which are example of IPM with chemical control
the use of a selective herbecide
