Let’s Explore and Discover

Unlocking Difficulties

Pest - is any living organism which competes with human,domestic animals or plants
for food and water.
Infestation – is the state of being invaded or overrun by pests or parasites.

Types of Weeds

1. Grasses - are monocotyledonous plants, which have a long, narrow, two ranked, usually flat
leaves with parallel veins and round, hallow stems.
Example: Echinochoacrusgali (L.Beauv.) Local Name: Dayakibok
Echinocloacolunum or colona Local Name: Bulangtiribuhan
2. Sedges – are similar to grasses but have three-ranked leaves and triangular solid stems.
Example: Fimbristylislittoralis Gaud Local Name: Ubod – ubod
Cyperusiria Linn Local Name: Alinang sud-sud
3. Broadleave – are dicotyledonous plants with net-veined leaves.
Example: Monochariavaginalis Presl Local Name: Gabing-uwak
SphenoleazeylaricaGaertu Local Name: Dilangbuti

Categories of Pests
Regular Pest – frequently occurs on crop- close competes with human, domestic association.
Example: Rice slim borer, Brinjal fruit borer
Occasional Pest – infrequently occurs, no “Peste” and Latin term “Pestis” meaning plaque or
contagious disease.
Example: Caseworm on rice , mango stem borer
Seasonal Pest – occurs during a particular season every year
Example: Red hairy caterpillar on groun Mango hoppers
Persistent Pest – occurs on the crop throughout in a particular situation.
Example: Chilli thrips, mealy bug on guava
Sporadic Pests – Pests occur in isolated localities during some period.
Example: Coconut slug caterpillar

Types of Pests

1. Insect – have three pairs of legs, two pairs of wings, segmented body and characteristic
compound eyes and antennae.
2. Mites – are creatures like insects but have soft body and four pairs of legs, these tiny
creatures have red and pale yellow color.
3. Rodents – are group of pest eat away large amount of human food and also damage
the crops on large scale.
4. Animals – like Wild Boar, Deer, Elephants, Wild Buffalo, Jackals, Monkey, Squirrels
cause direct damage to crop plants.
5. Birds – attack the crop plants and eat grains, like crow, Parrots, Sparrows.

Most Common Plant Diseases

Plant Diseases Description

1. Powdery Mildew ✓ Are very host specific, mildew on cocombers will not infect
roses. look for white, powdery growth of leaves and shoots.
Warm days and cool nights are ideal for powdery mildew
development.
2. Block Spot ✓ Is a common fungal diseases of roses. Look for circular,
smudge block spots with fringed margins.

3. Bacterial Canker or ✓ Is a bacterial disease of cool, wet weather areas that

Blight attackscherries, peaches plums, aprocots and related
trees. It spread readily from early spring till June.
4. Shot Hole ✓ Is also called Coryneum Blight in the interior of BC. This
diseases of peach,apricot, plum, and cherry spreads in
warm wet weather infecting buds, blossoms, leaves, fruit
and twigs.
5. Black Knot ✓ This is a fungal diseaseof plums causes wart-like growths
on twigs and branches.
6. Rust ✓ Are fungal diseases that only infect specific plants. Most
rust start out as small orange, red or brown spots on the
underside of leaves.
7. Late Blight/Early ✓ This are fungal diseases of tomatoes, potatoes, and other
Blight related plants. Early blight appears as dark brown to
block leaf spots with concentric rings.
8. Apple Scab ✓ Is a common fungal diseases in the Fraser Valley. Early
leaf infections appear as small green spots with feathery
margins that turn brown or black spot.
9. Botrytis Blight or ✓ Is a grey fuzzy mold develops on dead and dying plant
Grey Mold tissue spreading to healthy tissue when conditions are
wet.
10. Peach Leaf Curl ✓ Is a fungal diseases that is very common on peachs
nectarines in high rainfallareas such as the West Coast.

Pest Control
Pest control is the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, a member of
the animal kingdom that impacts adversely on human activities. This can be achieved by
monitoring the crop, only applying insecticides when necessary, and by growing varieties and
crops which are resistant to pests.
Biological Control
This technique is mainly used in greenhouses but can be practiced outdoors too. In order
to control pests biologically, natural enemies of the pest such as predators, parasites, pathogens
are introduced which geographically interfere with their ability to breed and infect the pests with
a fatal bacterial disease.

Mechanical Control
Mechanical control is simply using devices, traps, machines or other physical methods to
control or alter the environment where the pest may be found.
Cultural Control
When using cultural control, you alter the environment, condition of the host or site to
prevent/suppress the pest infestation. By disrupting the normal relationship between the host,
site and pest, you make it less likely for the pest to survive, grow or reproduce
Chemical Control
Pesticide is a broad and general term used for all chemicals used to control pests.
Pesticides are usually toxic to some stage(s) of the pest. Pesticides can be used to control insects,
nematodes, diseases and weeds
