|-Must |include |all |requirements |outlined |in |OSHA |respiratory |protection |standard




Problems |caused |by |lateral |movement |of |soil-active |herbicides |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--
Particularly |bare-ground |treatment |-Lateral |movement |may |cause |excessive |destruction |of |
vegetation |and |result |in |soil |erosion |or |cause |injury |to |desirable |vegetation |-On |sloped |areas |=
|erosion |-Injury |to |adjacent |areas




Precautions |to |consider |when |treating |aquatic |sites |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Use |herbicides |
labeled |for |that |purpose |-Avoid |drift |-Keep |spray |out |of |water |-Keep |buffer |adjacent |to |aquatic
|site |-Be |alert |to |lateral |movement |or |runoff |-Need |special |permit




List |concerns |of |livestock |owners |when |ROW |crosses |pasture |land |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--
Herbicide |residue |will |poison |livestock |-Active |ingredient |could |appear |in |meat |or |milk |making
|commodities |unsellable |-Overspray |and |drift |-Make |sure |pesticide |is |labeled |for |use |in |pasture


|-Do |no |apply |if |labeled |for |non-crop |areas |-Be |aware |of |re-entry |times |-Wild |cherry |becomes |


poisonous |after |spraying, |needs |to |be |fully |removed



Recognize |proper |methods |of |preventing |back-siphoning |of |pesticide |into |water |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER--Use |separate |pump |with |check |valves |-Don't |let |filler |hose |dip |into |tank |-Use |back |
flow |devices |-Don't |use |water |source |used |for |domestic |purposes |or |watering |livestock



Recognize |features |of |sprayer |filling |station |selected |to |minimize |spills |and |contamination |- |
CORRECT |ANSWER--Designed |to |minimize |problems |-Not |located |on |pond |or |stream |-Area |
slopped |away |from |surface |water |-Triple |rinse |containers

,Identify |who |is |responsible |for |cleaning |up |pesticide |spill |- |CORRECT |ANSWER-The |applicator



Methods |for |cleaning |a |spill |and |decontaminating |spill |area |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--PPE |-Contain
|spill |-Isolate |area |-Call |appropriate |emergency |response |-If |pest. |in |soil, |remove |upper |layer |-


Can |use |activated |charcoal



Chapter |3 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER-Chapter |3



Overspray |- |CORRECT |ANSWER-When |pesticide |is |applied |directly |outside |of |target |area



Problems |that |arise |because |of |drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Damage |to |non-target |plants |-
Contaminate |surface |waters |-Harm |wild |or |domestic |animals |or |people |-Legal |matters |-
Reputation |-Costs



Particle |Drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--At |time |of |application, |small |particles |move |from |target |
area



Vapor |Drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Spray |turns |to |gas |and |fumes |and |move |from |target |area



5 |Factors |that |increase |particle |drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Droplet |size |decrease |-Wind |speed |
increase |-Nozzle |height |increase |-Temp |increase |-Humidity |decrease



Most |important |factor |affecting |particle |drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Spray |droplet |size



Discuss |effects |of |air |stability |and |temp |inversions |on |particle |drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Don't |
affect |drift |directly |but |provide |conditions |where |it |is |more |likely |to |occur |-Air |stability |is |
warmed |at |the |plant |surface |and |rises |causing |currents |to |move |droplets |upward. |Wind |then |
moves |them |off |site. |-Layer |of |warm |air |is |sandwiched |between |layers |of |cold |caused |by |rapid

, |cooling |of |plant |surface. |Lost |heat |radiates |upward |causing |air |to |be |warmer |above |surface. |
Inversion |indicated |by |fog |or |smoke |at |ground |level



Clues |that |suggest |temperature |inversion |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Ground |fog |or |smoke |that |
move |laterally |in |concentrated |cloud |instead |of |moving |upward |and |dissapating. |-Common |on |
clear, |calm |nights, |and |last |into |the |morning



Factors |that |increase |particle |drift |also |increase |vapor |drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Particle |size, |
temp, |wind



Effects |of |pesticide, |temperature |and |soil |moisture |on |vapor |drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--
Volatility |increase |w |temperature |increase |-Wet |soil |increases |rate |of |volatization |and |
decreases |effectiveness |of |incorporation



State |first |rule |of |drift |management |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Know |when |not |to |spray



Discuss |site |conditions |before |deciding |to |spray |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Weather |-Sensitive |areas
|-Sprayer |setup:drop |size, |nozzle |type, |distance |to |target |-Assess |risks:Likelihood |of |drift, |


pesticide |factors, |consequence |of |drift



3 |ways |to |widen |window |of |application |for |spraying |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Pest |detection: |
scout |and |map, |help |with |being |patient |with |application |-Flexible |IVM |plant |can |give |wider |
range |of |choices |-Buffer |zones: |areas |between |target |and |sensitive |areas



2 |main |considerations |for |reducing |drift |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--Use |lowest |nozzle |distance |that |
provides |uniform |coverage |-Apply |coarsest |droplet |size |spectrum |that |provides |sufficient |
coverage



Factors |that |effect |proportion |of |small |droplets |in |pesticide |spraying |- |CORRECT |ANSWER--
Spray |pressure: |higher |means |small |droplet |size, |lower |means |bigger |droplet |-Nozzles: |larger |
