FLORIDA AQUATIC PEST CONTROL 2026
FINAL TEST SCRIPT FULL QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS PREMIUM
PREPARATION MATERIAL GRADED A+
⩥ Environmental Protection Agency. Answer: The federal agency with
the authority to promulgate and enforce pesticide law
⩥ Enzyme. Answer: Protein produced by plants that regulates plant
metabolic processes
⩥ Enzyme inhibitor. Answer: Herbicide that kills plants by inhibiting an
enzyme. Products are often specific to plant enzymes.
⩥ Foliar active herbicide. Answer: A herbicide that is absorbed through
the leaves of the plants
⩥ Half-life. Answer: Time it takes for the concentration of a compound
such as a herbicide to be reduced by half because of breakdown of the
molecule
⩥ Hard water. Answer: Expressed in concentration of CaCO3, water that
is high (>50ppm CaCO3) in carbonates
,⩥ Herbicide. Answer: Chemicals used for killing plants or severely
interrupting their normal growth process
⩥ Herbicide mechanism of action. Answer: Also referred to as the site of
action, the exact location of inhibition, such as interfering with the
activity of an enzyme within a metabolic pathway.
⩥ Hydrolysis. Answer: Breakdown of a substance such as a herbicide
when it chemically combines with water
⩥ LD50. Answer: Amount of herbicide required to provide a lethal dose
to 50% of a population of test organisms
⩥ Inactiviation. Answer: Chemical or physical combination of a
herbicide with other substances, which causes it to lose its herbicidal
properties.
⩥ Macrophyte. Answer: Aquatic plant with vascular tissue that is not
algae
⩥ Maintenance control. Answer: A method for the control of aquatic
plants in which control techniques are utilized in a coordinated manner
on a continuous basis in order to maintain the plant population at the
lowest feasible level
, ⩥ Microbial breakdown. Answer: Chemical transformation or
degradation of a compound such as a herbicide when it is acted upon by
microbes
⩥ Nonselective (broad spectrum) herbicide. Answer: Herbicide that will
kill all plants in a target area
⩥ Parts per billion (PPB). Answer: A method of expressing very dilute
concentrations, in terms of how much of something there is in a billion
of something else, such as the concentration of herbicide in water, for
example, 0.00272 lb of herbicide active ingredient per acre foot is
equivalent to 1 part per billion
⩥ Parts per million (PPM). Answer: A method of expressing very dilute
concentrations, in terms of how much of something there is in a million
of the other, such as the concentration of herbicide in water; for example
2.72 lbs of herbicide active ingredient per acre foot is equivalent to 1
part per million
⩥ Pesticide registration. Answer: The process required by the
Environmental Protection Agency to register a pesticide.
⩥ Photolysis. Answer: Breakdown of a chemical compound such as a
herbicide when it absorbs energy from sunlight.
