A mutagen is... - Correct Answer ✅💯a substance that tends to increase the frequency or
extent of mutations (changes, usually harmful, in inherited genetic material).

d. Only a certified applicator may apply.
e. b and c - Correct Answer ✅💯e. b and c

A pesticide that is synthetic cannot be organic. (True or False?) - Correct Answer ✅💯False
A pesticide use bulletin for protection of endangered species may contain limitations on
certain pesticide applications in an area where an endangered species habitat exists. (True or
False?) - Correct Answer ✅💯True
A pesticide was applied, but it did not control the pest. Name four reasons why the pesticide
application might have failed to control the pest. - Correct Answer ✅💯The failure of the
pesticide to control the pest might have been caused by : 1. Pest resistance. 2. Choosing the
wrong pesticide. 3. Misidentifying the pest. 4. Applying the wrong amount. 5. Applying the
pesticide incorrectly, including applying at the wrong time. 6. Weather problems: too dry,
wet, hot or cold.
A well-designed pesticide storage site: - Correct Answer ✅💯-limits access
-permits better inventory control
-protects people from exposure
-reduces chance of environmental contamination
-prevents damage to pesticides from temperature extremes and excess moisture
-safeguards pesticides from theft, vandalism, and unauthorized use
-allows fire departments to know the location of products
Absorption - Correct Answer ✅💯Absorption is the process by which chemicals are taken
up by plants and other organisms.
Act requiring any commercial pesticide applicator to be either a commercially certified
applicator or a registered technician. - Correct Answer ✅💯Act 451
Active Ingredient - Correct Answer ✅💯The component of a pesticide that controls the
target pest.
Acute oral exposure may produce which of the following symptoms?
a. Respiratory congestion and impaired vision.
b. Itching and vomiting.
c. Chest pains and muscle twitching.
d. Sweating and diarrhea.
,e. c and d - Correct Answer ✅💯e. c and d
Adjuvants - Correct Answer ✅💯An adjuvant is a chemical added to a pesticide formulation
or tank mix to increase its effectiveness or safety.
Some of the most common adjuvants are surfactants - "surface active ingredients" - that alter
the dispersing, spreading and wetting properties of spray droplets.
Adsorption - Correct Answer ✅💯Adsorption is the binding of chemicals to soil particles.
Pesticides that are strongly adsorbed (bound) are less likely to be carried from the treated area
by surface water or to leach through the soil; they may, however, be moved readily by soil
erosion.
Advantages and Disadvantages of B - Correct Answer ✅💯adv
-RTU
-attracts pest, dont need to cover huge area
-controls mobile pests
disadv
-risk to children and pets
-may kill non-target wildlife
-requires careful placement/inspection
-dead vertebrate pests may cause odor problem
-must be removed when stops working
-may not always work if pest has other food sources
Advantages and disadvantages of C, LC, or WSC/WSL - Correct Answer ✅💯adv
-easy to handle, transport, store
-no agitation necessary
-not abrasive
-do not plug nozzles
-do not leave visible residue
disadv
-limited availability
, -spills difficult to decontaminate
-easily absorbed thru skin
Advantages and Disadvantages of D - Correct Answer ✅💯adv
-usually RTU
-good alternative where L could cause damage
-applied with simple equip
-effective for hard to reach indoor areas
disadv
-high drift risk
-residues do not adhere as well as liquid
-high inhalation risk
-dampness causes clogs
-some equipment hard to calibrate
-difficult to get even distribution of particles
Advantages and disadvantages of EC? - Correct Answer ✅💯ADV
-easy to transport, handle, store
-easy to pour/measure
-little agitation required
-Not abrasive
-will not plug nozzles
-leave little visible residue
DISADV
-high concentration of AI --> easy overdose
-may damage treated plants or surfaces
-easily absorbed thru skin
-spills difficult to decontaminate
-strong odor
-solvents may wear equipment
