WILD 3600 Exam 2 Review (2025) QUESTIONS
AND ALL CORRECT ANSWERS 100% SOLVED AND
GUARANTEED SUCCESS!!
Herbicide Mixing - answer--After we calculate the GPA of water the sprayer is using, we will
need to figure out how much herbicide to put into the tank AND how many acres each tank can
treat. We are using a
EXAMPLE:
300 gallon sprayer with a 30 GPA output. We need to apply 2 quarts of glyphosate per acre.
How manyacres can our full sprayer cover, and how much glyphosateshould we add to it?
food plots for deer - answer--improves productivity antlers body weight
must consider stress periods
warm and cool season plots
cool season food plots - answer--cereal grains
clover
brassicas
cereal grains - answer--wheat oats and rye
each have benefits
wheat best option
Fawn protein percentage - answer--14-22%
,Yearling Protein percentage - answer-->11% for adequate growth
adult deer protein percentage - answer--6-10%
Deer energy requirements - answer--high energy demands for Lactation and Fat Deposition in
fal
Annual deer food habits - answer--woody and forbs most needed
cowpeas average cost over 10 years - answer--$6.80/lb digestible protein
signs to increase doe harvest - answer--1. large food plots over browsed (use exclusion cages)
2. body weights/antler size are below average for area
Managing Early Successional Areas for Wildlife - answer--- change in the plant community over
time
- Each succeeding plant community represents a seral stage (AKA successional stage)
