Integrated Pest Management Concepts

The video discusses the importance of planted forests in daily life and their role in environmental conservation. It highlights the threats these forests face from pests and diseases and introduces Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as a solution. IPM involves planning, monitoring, decision-making, and using biological and chemical controls to manage pests responsibly. The video emphasizes the need for balance between forest protection and environmental health.

What role do planted forests play in combating climate change?

• They cause soil erosion.

• They help in carbon sequestration.

• They reduce biodiversity.

• They increase the number of pests.

Why is Integrated Pest Management (IPM) necessary for planted forests?

• To eliminate all insects.

• To ensure forests do not get sick.

• To increase the number of pests.

• To reduce the growth of trees.

What is the first phase of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?

• Planning and planting

• Chemical control

• Decision-making

• Monitoring

During the planning and planting phase, what is crucial for selecting cuttings?

• Selecting cuttings resistant to common pests

• Picking the tallest cuttings

• Choosing cuttings from the oldest trees

• Choosing the most colorful cuttings

What is the main focus during the monitoring phase of IPM?

• Watering the plants

• Harvesting trees

• Tracking pest presence and forest development

• Planting new trees

What factors influence the decision-making phase in IPM?

• The type of pest and level of infestation

• The type of soil

• The color of the trees

• The height of the trees

Which of the following is a method of biological pest control?

• Using chemical pesticides

• Burning the forest

• Introducing predatory insects

• Cutting down infected trees

How should chemical pesticides be used according to IPM?

• Only when biological control fails

• In large quantities without professional advice

• To eliminate all pests completely

• Consciously and responsibly with correct dosages

What is the purpose of periodic on-site inspections in IPM?

• To plant more trees

• To check if the number of pests has decreased

• To water the plants

• To harvest the trees

What is the ultimate goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?

• To eliminate all pests

• To balance forest protection with human health and environmental aspects

• To increase the number of pests

• To reduce the growth of trees
