- 4Oligate ParasiteA parasite that needs a host to survive
- 5Host RangeThe variety of host a parasite can live off of
- 6BacteriaOne celled, spreads irregualrly. Enters through wounds and causes root. Shape of infection varies widely. Produces ooze due to attacking pectain, going through the cell layer
- 7Bacteria InfectionMost commonly attacks through the vascular system. Can spread thorugh pours in leaf
- 8Fire BlightAttacks the Rosaceae family. Spread ours through vectors like insects(bees)and garden tools.
- 9Bacterial Treatment and and preventionClean all garden supplies used with bleach/ disinfectant. Prune infected areas, cleaning tools in between cuts. Using drip soaker instead in morning so water evaporates over the coarse of the day.
- 10Anti-bioticsLargely useable due to cost. Can only be applied through injection. No spray treatments. Treatment does not affect politators for the most part
- 11FungusMulti celled organism that living off of living or dead matter(sapophtypes). Spreads in a uniform circular pattern. Can move through cell walls.
- 12Cedar Apple RustUses different hosts for different life stages of the fungus. From juniper to crab apple. Rust color
- 13Fungus ControlClean tools and materials in bleach, rinse. Clean seeds before planting, do not refuse potting mix.
- 14FungicideCheap and acessible for use. Comes in broad specutrum which treats many varietes and more specific types. Gloves should be worn during all uses of chemicals. Also comes in surface, which affects the surfaces, and systemics which affect the entire plants
- 15Natural FungicideIncludes acidifiying elements like copper and sulfur, as well as neem oil. All are topical rather than systemic.
- 16Copper are fungicideCopper fungicides are not always organic.

- 33Photomorphogensisdevelopment of plant parts with light
- 34Etiolation (skotomorphogenesis)elongated shoots and lack of chlorophyll in the
absence of light - 35LightFor anthocyanin production (red pigments manufactured in fall in leaves of certain deciduous trees like sugar maples in autumn when you have warm/sunny days and cool
nights
Light creates heat (increases biochemical reactions in plants up to around 96F)
For translocation in plants (increases transpiration which increases water uptake in roots)
A sudden change from high to low light causes leaf abscission in certain plants (ie: Ficus
. Do not over-water a plant that has dropped it leaves or the roots will go
anaerobic (since there aren’t any leaves on the plant needing water, the water will sit in
the potting mix)
Provides energy - 36Light IntensityBrightness. often limits what plants can be grown indoors.

Parasitic wasps: target specific species - 68Pest typesChewing: caterpillers
Sucking: aphids, styles, Mites, mealybugs, scales - 69Insect: life cycleEgg
Larvae (stage they feed the most)
Pupae
Adult (some feed also in this stage and others just reproduce) - 70AphidsGive birth to live young!
Can quickly become an “infestation” (an overwhelming number of pests in an area)
Produce honeydew
Protected by ants that consume the honeydew
Parasitized by wasps ( = biocontrol)
Controlled using liquid insecticidal soap, pyrethroids, neem oil - 71Mealybugs#1 indoor plant pest!
Produce honeydew
Protected by ants that consume the honeydew
Controlled using liquid insecticidal soap, pyrethroids, neem oil, rubbing alcohol (70%) - 72ScaleRasping mouth eats cells on the epidermis and sucks out their contents.
Very small insect pest.
Typically eats flowers
Leaves streaks/lines on the surface where they have been eating
Blue sticky traps work well
Controlled using liquid insecticidal soap, pyrethroids, neem oil, spinosad
Systemic synthetic insecticides (acephate, malathion, neonicotonoids, neem) - 73ThripsRasping mouth eats cells on the epidermis and sucks out their contents.
Very small insect pest.
Typically eats flowers
Leaves streaks/lines on the surface where they have been eating
Blue sticky traps work well
Controlled using liquid insecticidal soap, pyrethroids, neem oil, spinosad
Systemic synthetic insecticides (acephate, malathion, neonicotonoids, neem) - 74Fungus gnatsLarvae cause the damage to roots on plants by feeding on them
Control using yellow sticky traps
Biocontrol (using Bt or a potato piece to trap larvae)
Cultural control by allowing potting mix to dry between watering & not to overpot - 75NematodesFeed on roots (typically)
Affect plants in the Solanaceae (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc.)
& other plant families as well (carrots)
Results in swelling of the roots and reduces their ability to absorb water and nutrients
Some can be found on/in foliage
Control nematodes but rotating crops in your garden with those not susceptible to their
damage. Avoid rototilling a garden if nematodes are a problem to avoid spreading them.
Plant selections that are resistant to nematode damage.
A soil drench using an extract from the Quillaja saponaria (soapbark) tree is effective
and an organic treatment. It will, however, also kill beneficial nematodes. - 76Slugs and snails The eat the foliage.Control

Copper strips (repellent)
Diatomaceous earth (repellent)
Beer (or yeast) traps (attractant) that they drown i - 77Parasitic plantsDodder (contains carotenoids making the spaghetti-like stems orange in color but no
chlorophyll). It is an obligate parasite and requires a host plant to survive.
Mistletoe (does have chlorophyll but cannot complete its life cycle without a host. It is
an obligate hemi-parasite since it can produce some of its own food) - 78Rodents Mice/Voles/Moles Squirrels/Chipmunks Rabbits Groundhogs Damage to tree/shrub bark Specifically plants in the Rosaceae (roe family). Includes apples and crabapplControl methods:
Castor oil (repellent). While other ingredients are often included with this, Castor Oil is
the one that really works as the repellent.
Cats (biocontrol)
Black Rat and Garden snakes (biocontrol)
Exclusion using tree guards and wire cages around/over bulb - 79DeerHot pepper wax spray (repellent)
Putrid eggs (other ingredients include clove oil which helps to mask the stink) (repellent)
