water treatments, or soil incorporation
(A) True
(B) False - (ANSWER)True
Methyl bromide - (ANSWER)odorless, so people may not know they have been exposed until they begin
to feel the effects such as headache, dizziness, and nausea or vomiting

1,3-D - (ANSWER)evaporates easily; may be inhaled in toxic amounts in a closed environment; can cause
severe eye damage, burns, and damage to the lungs, kidneys, liver, and respiratory tract
MITC - (ANSWER)strong rotten-egg odor; irritates mucous membranes and causes respiratory distress
Which of these statements is true about warning agents in fumigant formulations? - (ANSWER)warning
agents are required in formulations that have no strong or distinctive odors
warning agents are required in all formulations that have no strong or distinctive odors
warning agents are required in fumigant formulations that have strong or distinctive odors
Which characteristics of soil fumigants have the greatest effect on the fumigants ability to change from a
liquid or solid to a gas? - (ANSWER)boiling point and vapor pressure
Sandy soil (effects on fumigants) - (ANSWER)its course texture allows fumigants to move through it more
quickly than other types of soil
Silt soil (effects on fumigants) - (ANSWER)its fine texture requires higher application rates than any other
soil type
Clay soil (effects on fumigants) - (ANSWER)its medium texture retains water between smaller pore
spaces, which can block fumigant movement through the soil
To make an estimate of soil water content, you must test soil samples from the depth -
(ANSWER)specified by the product label
Which characteristics of an application site are most likely to change a planned soil fumigation? -
(ANSWER)presence of plant debris, soil tilth, density of pests in soils or moisture levels in soil
Where would you go to get an accurate list of hazards associated with a particular fumigant? -
(ANSWER)labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and Pesticide Safety Information Series Leaflets (PSIS)
