Where do powderpost beetles lay their eggs and burrow in to
develop? - ANSWER-Female powderpost
beetles lay their eggs on wood and the larvae that hatch and
borrow into the wood which they eat in order to complete
their development.
How long can it take before
the powderpost beetle larva pupates inside the piece of wood
and emerge as an adult? - ANSWER-1-4 yrs
What telltale sign do the larvae produce? Where is it found?
- ANSWER-The larvae produce frass that often falls from
holes in infested lumber.
What two sources of water are very important to protect when it
comes to protecting the environment? We want to prevent
Movement of pesticides to these two sources to protect the
environment. - ANSWER-Protecting Surface Water Protecting
Groundwater
,Pesticides are ____-______-_______' when they are applied. –
ANSWER-Pesticides are 'on-the-move' when they are applied.
define off-target application - ANSWER-Any pesticide that is
moved to a location that is not the intent of the applicator is
called an off-target application.
An off-target application can be minimized by: - ANSWER-the
correct choice of equipment in addition to the proper care and
use of that equipment.
A common cause for unintended off-target pesticide
applications is the wind. This process is called _________ and
occurs when air
current _____________ the pesticides as it is applied. -
ANSWER-drift ; moves
Whether an applicator is applying inside (air handling system in
a building )or outside (the wind when outdoors), what must they
be aware of to prevent drift? - ANSWER-airflow
A general rule to remember with outdoor pesticide applications
is: the
,(higher/lower) the wind speed, the (greater/lessens) the chance
of drift. - ANSWER-A general rule to remember with outdoor
pesticide applications is: the higher the wind speed, the greater
the chance of drift.
True or false: Winds are usually strongest in mid-afternoon and
weakest just before sunrise and after sunset. - ANSWER-true
Many factors influence pesticide drift. Name them. - ANSWER-
The smaller the particle size the greater the chance for drift. One
factor that controls particle size of a liquid application is the size
of the nozzle opening. All nozzles produce a range of particle
sizes. It is usually best to use a nozzle with a large opening to
produce a large particle size and reduce drift when applying
whether inside a building or outside. When using power
sprayers outside, do not use any more pressure than is
necessary to get the pesticide to the target area and remember
the higher the pressure, the smaller the particle size. Nozzles
positioned too high or pointed into the air will dispense spray
over a wider area. Because wind speed is usually less close to
the ground, application of liquid pesticides should be
made as close to the target as possible. Consider the proper
nozzle, pressure, nozzle spray angle, and height above the
target before you apply a liquid pesticide formulation.
, True or false: Air currents can also move pesticides if the
formulation changes from a liquid or solid to a gas. - ANSWER-
true
define vapor drift/volitization - ANSWER-Volatilization occurs
when a liquid pesticide changes into a gas and drifts away from
the application site. This is also called vapor drift.
Is vapor drift is invisible or visible? - ANSWER-Vapor drift is
invisible
Volatilization increases when:
(hint 3 factors) - ANSWER-Volatilization increases when it is very
hot, the humidity is low, and the spray droplets are small.
Labels will warn of the potential of volatilization with
statements such as - ANSWER-• At high air or ground surface
temperatures, vapors from this product may injure susceptible
plants
• Under very high temperatures, vapors from this product may
injure susceptible plants in the immediate vicinity
Remember, pesticide vapors inside a dwelling can also cause
injury to occupants who may be sensitive. What systems should
you avoid spraying vapor around? - ANSWER-Avoid spraying
