4 Basics Of Insects Hugh Smith

5 Basics Of Scouting Mary Beth Henry

6 How observant are you? Scouting- surveying crops for pests and beneficials Identify- what you see Good bug or bad bug? Monitor- populations and stage of crop just a few pests may not warrant treatment Determine if & when to take action- thresholds Combine info, consider costs and benefits

7 Where to start? Divide up the area & consider: Different crops can have different pests so check them all periodically A rotation of inspection- among crops and then areas within the crop Row ends likely have different conditions than areas deeper in Infestations may occur in pockets vs. even distribution

8 Where to sample? Grid system X Y Z UF

9 UF. Florida Tomato Scouting Guide

10 Thresholds UF. Florida Tomato Scouting Guide

11 UF. Florida Tomato Scouting Guide

12 Where to look? Varies by crop, crop development stage and pest Thrips often found in flowers Mites usually found on undersides of leaves Aphids often found on new growth Older whitefly stages will be found on older leaves May be easy to overlook Crevices etc. Can sometimes appear to be part of the plant

13 What to look for? Signs Frass (excrement) Webbing Leaf or fruit damage or abnormal growth Missing sections of leaves, holes, etc. Roadmap in the leaf Leaf surface appears stippled Leaf drop Honeydew or sooty mold

14 Insects Adults Immatures Pupae Eggs What to look for? Other / not the pest insects Ants will tend aphids for free food An increase in predators or parasatoids numbers may indicate you have an increase in the insects they feed on/ parasitize.
