WISCONSIN PESTICIDE APPLICATION EXAM STUDY GUIDE
1. In order to make handling and application of a pesticide safer, easier, andmore effective
the manufacturer mixes : Inert ingredients
2. Different formulations are created for the same pesticide, why do manufacturers do this:
Different formulations are more effective in different situations
3. In order to maintain in suspension this formulation requires constant and
vigorous agitation: Wettable powder (WP)
4. A wetting agent added to a pesticide formulation is an example of a(n)
: Adjuvant
5. If a pesticide's benefit outweighs its risk only when a trained person isusing: Restricted-
use
6. A for hire applicator must renew their individual commercial applicatorlicense every:
Year
7. A not for hire commercial applicator applying restricted use pesticidesneeds: Certification
and individual license
8. As a for hire pesticide applicator one must keep pesticide applicationrecords for at least: 2
years
9. When using a pesticide the label and its labeling function as: legally bindingdocuments with
direction that must be followed exactly
10. If a reentry interval (REI) is posted for 24hrs, this means: You can only enterif you are
wearing the necessary PPE during that 24 hr period.
11. If the label states that you must wear a long sleeve shirt and long plantswhen applying the
product,: It would be illegal to apply this product without wearing long sleeves and long
pants.
12. You are working with a pesticide left over from the year before, there isonly a little of the
product left. When using the older product: Do not exceedthe maximum application rate on the
old label
13. When using a pesticide, the potential for injury is determined by the: Toxi-city of the
pesticide and length of exposure
14. The signal words 'caution', 'warning', and 'danger' found on a pesticidelabel indicate: the
relative toxicity of the pesticide
15. What work habit increases your risk of pesticide exposure: Touching treatedplants or soil
16. This indicates the relative toxicity of the pesticide: Signal word
17. An effect that occurs right away after being exposed to a pesticide is: Acute
18. Effective personal protective equipment (PPE) is: Resistant to tears undernormal work
, conditions
19. When thinking about the role of PPE in pesticide application it exposure but does not
: Reduces, eliminate
20. Which type of clothing provides better protection from contact with pesti-cides: Chemical
resistant spray suit
21. If someone has accidentally swallowed some pesticide you should inducevomiting: Only
when specified on the label
22. What should you do if you or a co worker experienced a dermal pesticideexposure:
Drench the skin with water
23. If a person has accidentally inhaled a pesticide and requires first aide, youshould: Get the
victim into fresh air right away
24. A commercial drivers license is needed: When transporting hazardous ma-terials in
amounts that require placarding
25. When transporting pesticides in a vehicle you must: Ensure the pesticidecannot be
accessed by the public
26. Inside a pesticide storage area: Only store pesticides and pesticide applicationequipment
27. Which is true about storing pesticides: The building should be insulated tokeep pesticides
between 40 and 100 degrees
28. In preparing for the state exam, the first thing you should do is read the
at the beginning of the chapter because they are what the exam is based on: Learning
objectives
29. In a number of chapters there are sections that are not covered by the learning objectives
nor will they appear on the certification exam. Thesesections are: The 'gray boxes'
30. largely determines the type of damage an insect can cause which canhelp
identify the pest causing the problem.: The mouthpart
31. Insects are different from ticks because: Ticks have more legs and fewer bodyregions
32. The rate of insect development and activity is most effected by: Temperature
33. The correct lifecycle terms and order of an insect with a complete metamor-phosis: egg,
larvae, pupae, adult
34. One disadvantage of using insecticides is that: Repeatedly exposing a pestpopulation to
the selection pressure of insecticides can lead to resistance
35. What is the name of the life cycle where the immature insect looks like theadult insect?:
Simple metamorphosis
36. The principle role of a juvenile insect is to while the role of the
adultis to .: Feed, reproduce
37. A large area of a single plants species that provides an unlimited foodsupply for insects
