Purpose In this activity, you will research a specific greenhouse pest and outline its management, including monitoring techniques and control strategies. You will identify information about purchasing and using two biological

control agents (i.e. insects, nematodes, or microbial agents). We are focusing on biological control in a greenhouse because that control method is most effective in a greenhouse setting. This project will help you practice the following skills: Researching and summarizing pest biology and its management strategies. Evaluating the pest management strategies for selection in a greenhouse setting. Evaluating pesticides to determine if they are compatible with biological control applications. This project will help you gain the following knowledge: Familiarity with common greenhouse pests and their management. Familiarity with companies that sell biological control agents. Familiarity with different biological control agents. Assignment Instructions Create a tri-fold poster and present it during a poster session. You have to do about (Silverleaf Whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci)/nInitial Post Choose a pest from this list. Create a poster on a greenhouse pest and its management. The information should be paraphrased rather than copied and pasted. Use short bullets. I recommend a font size of a least 20 size font. You will present your poster during the poster session individually to other peers. You will record information on the other posters. You will also reflect on your experience.
