Unit 5 Lab Assignment

Biological Agents (25 points)

A Mexican bean beetle larva, a devastating pest of snap and soybeans, becomes a meal for the spined soldier bug instead.
For the Unit 4 Assignment, you developed a crop rotation plan. For this assignment, you will find biological agents to control at least two of the specific pests for each of the plants in your crop rotation plan.

Write a 500-word report that includes:

- A list of crops that were to be planted.
- Two pests that affect each crop.
- A biological control that is commercially available for each pest. (If there is none, identify a cultural or physical control method that can be used.)
- A table or spreadsheet indicating cost for the product itself, a rough estimate of what an individual treatment may cost, and specify how many treatments would be needed.
- Current vendor information for each product used.

- Citation of web references used for this assignment
