Understanding basic population dynamics is important for monitoring pest populations: this can include isolating specific demographies, tracking the relationship between population size and population density on-site, and understand the way these metrics change with time. Give an example of THREE field observations (IN ADDITION to the pest data) that should be made each time field monitoring events occur, explaining why each is important to note. Michigan State Extention has created a brief, helpful guide to monitoring pests in field crops: When monitoring a field crop site for pest damage, there are many non-insect/arthropod observations that should be made. □ Determine economic cost/benefit of a pest management recommendation to avoid unnecessary pest control treatment and expenditure while avoiding crop losses □ Provide feedback about pest management program efficacy □ Provide information to simplify future monitoring efforts
□ Justify pest management recommendations to farm managers, owners or clients of pest management consultants □ Help to identify potential future outbreaks, non-target impacts, and resurgence events □ Develop a historical record of pest outbreaks and beneficial insect presence for use in decision-making From the options below, check the boxes that can be benefits of utilizing a well-planned monitoring schedule: Monitoring insects involves many techniques and methods for observing and measuring population growth, changes, damage to hosts, and other relevant activities over long periods of time, in response to changing environmental factors.
