- Traits such as resistance to pesticides may cause overpopulation in unfavorable plant species, such as weeds. This resistance could also be passed on to species of insects that the pesticides were made for, thus negating the effect of the pesticide in the first place.

There are not many workers to cut acres full weeds to make the farm look organized. So to fix the solution, farmers use chemicals to kill the weeds. This solution makes it easier for the farmers to use because the process is fast. Another problem is that there are pest such as rats, birds, and other creatures that ruins farmers product. Pest tends to enter the farm and eat the products and will come back for more. Pest can also enter the farm and ruin the farm. Killing or removing the pest is the only way to fix the solution. But removing one by one is difficult. Using chemical to remove all the pest is the best way. Same method goes to removing all the insects and bugs. Insects and bugs are feeding on vegetables and fruits. Insect and bugs can ruin vegetable and fruits because when they are feeding on the product they tend to ruin the quality of the product. No one is going to buy a lettuce that is eaten by insects or fruits that has black spots. This causes the increases of all the products from being

Although pillbugs are nocturnal Isopods, they can still be found during the day in dark, humid places like under fallen leaves, rocks, or logs. They live their entire lives on land and are terrestrial crustaceans. Fondly known as roly-poly due to its ability to roll into ball when disturbed, pillbugs feed mainly on decaying plant leaves and other decomposing

In this experiment, we tested three different environments, soil, sand, and a leafy mixture to see which one a pill bug would prefer the most. Originally, we believed that the pill bug would find the leafy substance to be most favorable. Five pill bugs and then a single pill bug was placed in the center so that it could select one of the substrates. The data collected at the end of the experiment opposed our original hypothesis as we discovered that the most favored environment was the soil. This finding could correlate with the dark color of the soil closely matching the color of the pill bug or the moisture in the soil.

With government approval, certain beetles have been used to help reduce the number of Purple Loosestrife. Hylobius Transrersovitiatus and Nanophyes Marmoratus are a weevil that lays larvae and adults feed on the Purple Loosestrife roots, along with the Galerucella Pusilla and Galerucella Calmariensis, which are types of beetles that feed on its foliage and flowers. These beetles and weevils have reduced the Purple Loosestrife by at least ninety percent, but for large areas infested by the Purple Loosestrife, herbicidal is required for removal. The only problem with the chemicals used is that it can cause nearby plants to dye. Over a period of several years, the chemicals can reduce to only small areas being infested by the Purple Loosestrife, which promotes other plants to reappear. The Triclopyr and Imazapyr is a chemical used and is

Habitat: Their habitats are on crops, arable and waste land, gardens. Commonly on footpaths and in

Females lay white spherical eggs on the trunk, and produce a yellow viscous material from the ovipositor which is smoothed over into a covering, before fading to white or grey. Larvae exit the egg directly into the plant, never becoming exposed, and so are impervious to sprays. Young larvae are restricted to the cambium, circling the cane 3-4 times in a close spiral, girdling the primocane, and producing gall-like swellings. As larvae grow, they extend feeding deeper into wood and pith, and staightening the spiral and heading usually toward the distal end of the cane (tunnels may extend 15 cm below to 64 cm above the gall). Larvae reach a length of 12 mm, and have a pair of horn-like projections on the posterior end. The larvae are white and legless, with a flattened head (the family is often called flat headed borers). Larvae winter in the cane, and in March create a pupal chamber. The pupa is formed in late April. The pupal period lasts 20-40 days. When the adult leaves the pupal skin, it remains in the tunnel for about 10 days before chewing a D-shaped emergence hole. Adults feed on foliage for several days before beginning oviposition. They are most easily found on the plants on warm sunny days. There is one generation

To reduce the numbers of the death and obesity rate of the US, we need to start growing gardens all over the community, near or far. We can learn how to grow healthy foods right in our backyard by growing greens, such as the following: lettuce spinach, and turnip greens. Other healthy vegetables we can grow, that are not a green, are the followings listed: carrots, beets, and red cabbage. We need to learn to garden, so we can eat healthier and more

The first hypothesis for this lab is that, if red flour beetles are placed in the center of a dish with wheat flour on one side and white flour on the other, then more beetles will go to their preferred substrate. Our prediction is that the white flour side will occupy more red flour beetles than the oat flour side of the dish because that is the preferred substrate. The null hypothesis is that there will be no preference between the two substrates.

.*They are omnivorous, plantigrade and highly social animals *Body is covered with hairs (except palms, soles and face) *Limbs have five digits.

I think we should definitely use insecticides to try and get rid of all the insects that can be

The adult females lay eggs stacked on each other which resembles a cactus spine. The larvae feed by burrowing into a pad which can kill their host plant. They have three flights in the southeastern United States which is in late March to May, July to August, and late September to mid-November. They have one host and that is the pricklypear cacti. They are native to Argentina but now found in southeastern United States. They do need some management because they need to be prevented from spreading further.

New Hampshire is known for having many farms spread out throughout the state, especially in Coos County. Because of this, many bugs come to survive off of the crops that grow here. If bugs keep eating the plants, then the quality of the crop will go down. It’s not just bugs that come to live off the plants, it is also animals like deer, bears, moose, and many more. All of these pests coming to steal and eat the plants can cause the land to lose moisture and lower the quality as well. This has affected the farming community greatly. It also affects stores and the people that shop there because the animals and bugs ruin a generous amount of crops. The less plants
