Zone 3 refers to which geographic area?

• A. Southern Lower Michigan
• B. Northern Lower Michigan
• C. Upper Peninsula
• D. Central Michigan

Answer: (A)

Zone numbering in Michigan pest management groups the state into regions with similar climate and pest patterns. Zone three specifically covers the southern part of the Lower Peninsula, i.e., Southern Lower Michigan, where conditions differ from the more northern areas and from the Upper Peninsula. That’s why the correct region is Southern Lower Michigan. The other geographic areas—Northern Lower Michigan, Central Michigan, and the Upper Peninsula—fall into different zones and have distinct pest pressures that shape management approaches.
