,Section A - LAWS AND Regulations
Q1.
A pesticide label lists a signal word 'DANGER' with skull-and-crossbones. Which
additional statement is required on the label?
A. Keep Out of Reach of Children B. Statement of Practical Treatment
C. Environmental Hazards D. Storage and Disposal
Correct: A - Keep Out of Reach of Children
Rationale:Products with 'DANGER' and skull-and-crossbones must include 'Keep Out of
Reach of Children' to emphasize extreme toxicity. Other statements are required but not
specifically tied to this signal word.
Why the other answers are wrong:
B. Statement of Practical Treatment is required for all human hazard categories, not unique to
DANGER.
C. Environmental Hazards are required based on environmental toxicity, independent of signal
word.
D. Storage and Disposal is a general label section, not a specific warning for this signal word.
Reference: EPA Label Review Manual, Ch. 7 (Signal Words)
Q2.
A pesticide label instructs mixing at 1.5 lb of active ingredient per acre. The product is a
75% WP. How many pounds of formulation are needed for a 40-acre field?
A. 60 lb B. 80 lb
C. 100 lb D. 120 lb
Correct: B - 80 lb
Rationale:Needed AI = 1.5 lb/A * 40 A = 60 lb AI. Since product is 75% AI, formulation weight
= .75 = 80 lb.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. 60 lb is the amount of active ingredient, not formulation.
C. 100 lb results from misapplying the percentage (e.g., adding 25% instead of dividing).
D. 120 lb arises from multiplying by 0.75 instead of dividing.

Q3.
Which mode of action is correctly paired with its target site?
A. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase - B. Inhibition of photosystem II - respiratory
nervous system system
C. Inhibition of lipid synthesis - muscular D. Inhibition of chitin synthesis - endocrine
system system
Correct: A - Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase - nervous system
Rationale:Organophosphates and carbamates inhibit acetylcholinesterase, disrupting nerve
impulse transmission. Other pairings mismatch the target system.
Why the other answers are wrong:
B. Photosystem II inhibition affects photosynthesis, not respiration.
C. Lipid synthesis inhibitors target lipid biosynthesis, not muscles.
D. Chitin synthesis inhibitors affect exoskeleton formation, not endocrine function.
Reference: IRAC Mode of Action Classification
Q4.
Under the Texas Administrative Code, what is the maximum penalty for a first-time
violation of pesticide application regulations?
A. $500 B. $2,000
C. $5,000 D. $10,000
Correct: B - $2,000
Rationale:Texas regulations set a maximum civil penalty of $2,000 for first violations.
Subsequent violations may incur higher penalties.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. $500 is too low and does not match statutory limits.
C. $5,000 applies to repeat or aggravated violations.
D. $10,000 is the federal maximum, not Texas state.
Reference: Texas Agriculture Code § 76.116
Q5.
Which condition is most likely to cause pesticide drift from a ground sprayer?
A. Temperature inversion with low wind B. High humidity with calm conditions
C. Wind speed of 3 mph with moderate D. Overcast skies with light rain
humidity
