Soft bodied, pear-shaped
insects that secrete
honeydew while feeding
Aphids
An approach to managing
insects, mites, pathogens,
nematodes, weeds, and
other pests by combining a
variety of strategies and
pest management tactics
IPM
Four methods of
managing
nematode pests on
ornamental plants
•Treating the soil
•Using root barriers
•Replacing contaminated soil
•Selecting well adapted plants
•Giving optimum care
•Not allowing maintenance to lapse
•Keeping other pests under control
•Mulching the plant root zone
•Using nematodes
Ladybeetles
Praying Mantids
Assassin Bugs
Lacewings
Parasitic Wasps
Spiders
Beneficial Insects
Adults are dingy
brown moths with
a wingspan of
about ¾”
Sod webworm
Where the buds
and leaves are
attached
Node
Equal veins, with
inconspicuous
branching between
the veins
Parallel Veins
A plant which grows from
seed, flowers, and dies in
the same growing season
Annual
The loss of water
through openings in
the leaves
Transpiration
Composed of plants which are
distinguishable as different, and
when reproduced, retain their
differences; there are two types:
clonal and seedling
Cultivar
Symptoms of
excessive watering
in plants
•Soft leaves and stem tissue becomes limp or
begins to wilt
•Yellowing and dropping of the older leaves
and browning of tips or margins
•Leaves may turn brown and die
•Eventual Death
(Similar to water stress symptoms)
Symptoms occur on oldest
leaves first; typically begins
as translucent yellow or
orange spots on the leaflets;
leaves become withered or
frizzled; midrib usually
remains alive
Potassium

3 of the 16 essential
elements not

Test that should be
done on irrigation
water
Soluble salts (EC)
and pH
Determines the longterm success of indoor
plants more than any
other factor
Light
There issues should be considered
with all other design factors:
•Hiding Places
•Access to Windows
•Placement of Plants with thorny or
spiny characteristics as deterrents
•Entryways hidden by oversized plants
Security Issues
The impression of
coarseness or fineness of
a plant gained from
seeing or feeling it
Texture
Turf with excellent shade rating,
excellent salt tolerance, fair
rating for low maintenance, and
considered second best turf in FL
for drought tolerance
St. Augustine
The principles used
when designing to
conserve our
resources
Florida Friendly
Principles
Two important
factors to
remember when
pruning a formal
hedge
1.Hedges should be clipped
while new growth is green
and succulent
2.Plants should be trimmed so
the base of the hedge is wider
than the top
Three injurious
practices of mowing
•Mowing with a dull blade
•Mowing infrequently
•Mowing the grass too short
Plants that bloom on the
current season’s growth,
such as roses and hibiscus
should be pruned
While dormant or
between flushes of
growth
An accumulation of plant
material and organic debris
between the soil and grass
blades
Thatch
Mulch will not help with
this:
1. Disease Control
2. Moisture Retention
3. Soil Temperature
4. Weeds
5. Appearance
Disease Control
The correct
amount of water to
give a plant
Enough to moisten
the soil to penetrate
the average depth
of the root system
Definition of
irrigation
The application of
supplemental water to a soil
for the purpose of supplying
the appropriate moisture for
plant growth
Factors that cause
poor uniformity in
irrigation
applications
•Improper pipe diameter
•Improper operation pressure
•Improper sprinkler heads and nozzles
•Inadequate sprinkler overlap
•Wind
•Changes in system components with time,
such as pump efficiency, pressure
regulation, or nozzle size
•Nozzle clogging
The frequency of irrigation
uniformity and efficiency
should be checked
Annually
They provide the service of
evaluating a system and
making recommendations to
improve system efficiency

of landscape design
used in public
areas
•Trees
•Base or foundation plantings
•Shrubs
•Entrance Plantings
•Corner Plantings
