6

Endodormancy

Also known as rest, imposed by internal blocks in seeds and buds; regulated by hormones and overcome by winter chilling

7

Also known as quiescence, plant will not grow until external conditions are satisfied

New cards
8

Thinning

The removal of excess parts of a crop before it matures; typically executed on fruit crops

New cards
9

Napthaleneacetic acid (NAA)

Stimulated ethylene which slows development of youngest and weakest fruits, eventually abscising them; response of plant is proportional to amount applied; can cause flagging or phytotoxicity over 85 degrees.

New cards
10

Carbaryl

Safest means to thin as this almost never overthins; accidentally discovered to have thinning properties; an insecticide, and therefore toxic to honeybees

New cards
11

New cards
21

New cards
22

Why is it important to understand the mouthparts of insects?

Small holes caused by damage from chewing mouthparts

New cards
24

Honeydew

Sticky residue left behind by insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts

New cards
25

Springtails; nuisance on ornamentals and mushrooms

New cards
27

Orthoptera

Grasshoppers and mole crickets; feed on perennial plants and cause turf damage

New cards
28

Thysanoptera

Thrips; a major problem in greenhouse crops due to disease transmission

New cards
29

Heteroptera

True bugs; may discolor or disfigure leaves

New cards
30

New cards
31

Coleptera

New cards
44

Ovaries become _____.

fruit

New cards
45

Why are fruit crops thinned?
