Which method of pesticide application would reduce the amount of carrier required and risk of
drift when controlling brush on a hot, windy day? - Answer Basal bark
A major factor in a successful IRVM program is: - Answer Driver safety in rural areas
The downward movement of pesticides in the soil is called: - Answer Leaching
Which type of weed is best controlled in early bloom? - Answer Perennial
Pesticides may move from the target area and damage the environment by: - Answer Drift,
soil runoff or soil erosion, leaching through the soil
Basal bark applications are: - Answer Possible throughout the year
What type of chemical resistant gloves should you use if a pesticide application will last one or
two hours? - Answer Moderately or highly chemical resistant
Volatilization: - Answer May occur after spray reaches the target site and usually occurs at
high temperatures

What should you do with clothing that becomes soaked with full strength concentrate
pesticides? - Answer Discard the clothing with any contaminated PPE
Which of the following are annual weeds? - Answer Pigweed
An herbicide label calls for product to applied at 3 oz per 1000 square feet in one gallon of

Which procedures will help reduce herbicide drift: - Answer Reducing spray pressure and
changing nozzles to a type which emits larger droplets

Answer 10
Which of the following formulations do not dissolve in water: - Answer Wettable powders
A major disadvantage of the phenoxy-herbicides is: - Answer They can damage desirable
plants at very low rates, making them susceptible to drift damage
Basal bark treatment is not recommended for woody species larger than 6" in diameter: -
Answer The bark prevents penetration of the herbicide and reduces effectiveness
