How do pests and insects attack plants?

Answer 1

Invertebrates and pathogens are the pests that are found on plants. Invertebrates include insects, mites, slugs, snails, Spiders, ticks, and worms. Pathogens range from non-beneficial bacteria to malicious fungi and viruses.

Answer 2

Aphids, armyworms, birds, borers, caterpillars, maggots, mealybugs, nematodes, rootworms, scale, slugs, snails are examples of some types of plant pests. The phrase plant pests references invertebrates and vertebrates that compromise the sustainability of vegetation. It also refers to such mammals as deer whose life cycles and natural histories are so compromised by the expanding urban and retreating wilderness interfaces that they forage whenever and wherever they can.

Answer 3

Aphids are probably number one. As far as actual damage, I would say snails/slugs.

There is a very long list, everything from viruses, bacteria, fungi, insects, rabbits, deer, worms, grasshoppers, mold, caterpillars, flies, beetles, bollworms, hail, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and thrips.

Answer 4

It is by damaging and devouring above- and below-ground body parts that insects and non-insect pests attack plants.

Specifically, a plant can be attacked at ground-level or below the surface. Either attack is potentially destructive and even fatal to plant well-being. Below-ground insect and non-insect pests obstruct plant roots' attempts to in-take soluble nutrients necessary for proper growth and development. Above-ground insect and non-insect pests prevent the plant in question from progressing through proper leafing, budding, flowering, and fruiting cycles.

Answer 5

Stressors that attack herbaceous and woody plantsare what plant pests are.

Specifically, stressors can attack from outside or within the plant. The stress can originate above- or below-ground in the form of arthropods, bacteria, fungi and viruses. What the different stressors have in common is attacking - usually in the form of feeding upon - the edible, ornamental or wild plant, shrub, tree or vine in such a way as to result in damage, decline or death.

Answer 6

Stressors that attack herbaceous and woody plants describe a plant's pests. Stressors launch attacks from above- or below-ground, outside or within the plant, as amphibians, arthropods, bacteria, birds, fungi, mammals, reptiles and viruses. The different stressors unite in attacking -- usually by feeding upon -- the edible, ornamental or wild grass, herb, shrub, tree or vine in such a way as to result in damage, decline or death.

Answer 7

Snails/slugs probably number one
