Pesticide ohio test |71 Complete Q’s and A’s
FIFRA - -Federal law that covers pesticide registration,sale,distribution and use in the us
Requires EPA approval for use of all commercial pesticides (Insecticides, Fungicides,
Rodenticides.)
-Oda - -Ohio department of agriculture (oda) enforces state and federal pesticide laws and
certified applicators in Ohio
-Two types of certified pesticide applicators in OH. - -Private pesticide applicators license
Commercial applicator license
-PRIVATE PESTICIDE APPLICATOR LICENSE - -needed to purchase, apply, or supervise
the use of restricted-use pesticides (RUPs) on land in agricultural production that a person,
or their employer owns, leases, or rents. This includes farmland, rangeland, forests,
greenhouses, nurseries, orchards, etc.
-Commercial applicators license - -Required for all pesticide applications made for hire
and certain other situations.
-Cholinesterase inhibitors - -Monitoring tool to make sure someone hasn't been exposed
to too much; organophosphate or n-methyl-carbamate.
-Organosphosphates - -accidental poisoning (use anticholinergic agent to relieve
symptoms)
blocks effect of excess acetylcholine at muscinic receptors
Treat with praliosdoxime (helps regenerate cholinesterase) and atropine
-Pesticide Rinsate - -Reinstates may be applied to labeled target sites at or below labeled
rates
-What is the usual order for tank mixing pesticides? - -Fill tank one-fifth to one-half full
with carrier, add compatibility agent (if needed), add suspension products, add solution
products, add surfactants (if needed), add emulsion products.
-Regulatory Pest Control - -Airports/ocean ports are monitored by pest quarantine
regulatory agencies.
-To prevent damage to pesticide labels you must use what? - -Transparent tape, a coating
of lacquer or
Polyurethane to protect them
-What is the purpose of the signal word? - -Indicates the product's relative acute toxicity
to humans and animals.
, -The capacity of a pesticide to cause short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) injury is
referred to as its: - -toxicity
-Which would be an appropriate way to describe a relatively low toxicity pesticide product
to the customer? - -use with caution
-Which type of dry/solid pesticide formulation consists of particles that are the same
weight and shape? - -A. Bait
B. Granule
C. Pellet
-Which statement is true about heat stress? - -Lack of sweat is a symptom of heat stroke.
-What is the fqpa - -Food Quality Protection Act; amended FFDCA; set tougher standard
for pesticides used on food- established a single, health based standard to be used when
assessing the risks of pesticide residues in food or feed- must consider the aggregate risk
from dietary exposure (drinking water, residential lawn uses), considers endocrine-
disruption potential; requires review of registered pesticides every 15 years
-Which statement is true about groundwater or surface water contaminated by pesticides?
- -Runoff and erosion are sources of surface water contamination by pesticides.
-Which is an advantage of microencapsulated materials? - -Delayed or slow release of the
active ingredient prolongs its effectiveness.
-Which property of a pesticide would make it more likely to move with water in surface
runoff? - -high solubility
-Which statement about pesticide storage facilities is true? - -Carefully consider soil and
land surface characteristics when selecting a storage site to prevent potential
contamination of water sources
-What is needed to apply a pesticide legally when a pest problem arises for which a food or
feed commodity is not on the registered pesticide label or a tolerance has not yet been
established? - -An emergency exemption
-Which statement is false about harmful effects of pesticides? - -The most common form of
pesticide injury is by inhalation
-Which practice for minimizing storage problems is not recommended? - -Buy large
quantities of pesticides to reduce costs and ensure that the chemicals you use are available
when you need them
-Which liquid pesticide formulation consists of a small amount of active ingredient (often
1% or less per unit volume)? - -Ready-to-use (low concentrate) solution (RTU)
