Bring one or more plants that are suffering from disease or insect problems into the classroom. Also bring in one healthy plant. Ask the students to explain whythe infected plants could cause a problem. Ask them if the infected plants should be put in the greenhouse with the healthy plants. Ask them to explain their answer.

The health of crops grown in a greenhouse is challenged by a variety of pests and diseases.
The ability to identify major greenhouse pests and diseases is the first step in a pest management program.
Insect pests can severely damage or ruin a crop if their populations are not managed.

What is Entomology?
It is the study of insects. Insects are always around us. Scientists called
entomologist spend most of their time studying these insects
![Page 10: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
There are more than 750,000 species of insects which have been identified
There is about 2,000,000 species that have not been identified
![Page 11: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
There are two different life cycles that an insect can go through and they are: Incomplete Metamorphosis Complete Metamorphosis Metamorphosis- a complete change of
form structure or substance.

There are three parts to any insectHeadThoraxAbdomen
![Page 15: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The head is the anterior of the three body regions of an adult insect. It bears the eyes (usually a pair of compound eyes), the antennae and the mouthparts.
![Page 16: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The thorax is the middle of the three body regions of an adult insect. It is composed of 3 segments. It bears 3 pairs of legs (one on each segment) and usually 2 pairs of wings. Some insects have only 1 pair of wings.
![Page 17: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The abdomen is the posterior of the three body regions of an adult insect. It is composed of 11 segments. The abdomen bears the external genitalia of the insect. In female insects these consist of an ovipositor.

How are insects grouped?They are grouped by the way they
feed on plants. So they are grouped by their mouth parts.

Aphids are pear-shaped, soft-bodied, usually wingless insects.
They are often green or yellowish in color.
Aphids have the ability to reproduce very rapidly.
Astonishingly, they give birth to live young that are pregnant!
Aphids use their mouthparts to pierce the plant and suck out juices.
Aphids attack a wide variety of greenhouse plants.
![Page 33: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Caterpillars are the larvae of various moth species. They damage greenhouse crops by eating the
plants. Fungus gnats are long-legged, winged,
gray-black insects less than 1/8 inch long. The larvae of fungus gnats feed on root hairs and
tunnel into plant stems. They prefer a growing medium that is constantly
moist.
![Page 34: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Leaf miners are small, stocky flies. The adult deposits eggs inside a leaf. The eggs hatch, and the larvae feed on the
interior of the leaf, making tunnels as they move along.
Chrysanthemums are subject to leaf miner damage.
![Page 35: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Mealybugs are slow-moving, oval-shaped, whitish insects. They have a waxy finish and produce small
cottony masses. Mealybugs pierce plant leaves and suck the
plant juices. As with aphids, they give birth to living nymphs.
![Page 36: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Mites have eight legs and are related to spiders. Mites pierce leaf tissues and suck juices. Symptoms of damage include a yellow speckled
appearance to the leaves, and, in severe cases, yellowing of the leaves and defoliation.
Two spotted spider mites and red spider mites are among the most serious greenhouse pests.
They appear as tiny specks on the plants and are often found on the undersides of leaves and near the apical meristems.
![Page 37: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
A two-spotted mite has two dark spots on its back.
Spider mites create a complex network of webbing as they move about a plant.
Cyclamen mites infest a broad range of plants and are not visible to the naked eye.
Bulb mites damage lily bulbs and the developing shoots.

Many types of scale insects infest greenhouse plants. Typically, they have flat, oval, often brown bodies. They may or may not be covered with armored shells. Scale insects pierce plant leaves and stems and suck
juices. Western flower thrips are small dark brown
insects with two pairs of fringed wings. They have rasping mouthparts that scrape plant tissue. The damage they cause to many kinds of plants often
appears as whitish discoloration.
![Page 39: Horticulture Science Lesson 37 Identifying and Managing Insect Plant Pests in the Greenhouse](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56813d69550346895da74712/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Whiteflies are small white insects. They generally camp out on the undersides of
leaves, where they pierce the tissues and suck juices.
Their flat, scale-like larvae feed on the undersides of the leaves.
Whiteflies are major pests of poinsettias and fuchsias.
