This document offers 100+ expertly answered exam-style questions on Vegetation Control and Herbicide Application Techniques, aligned with environmental science, agriculture, pest management, and roadside maintenance programs for the 2025/2026 academic year. It covers the principles and methods behind effective herbicide use, plant growth regulation, weed identification, and application safety, supporting both academic mastery and field readiness. Key topics include: Total Vegetation Control (TVC) herbicides and their residual, nonselective applications near infrastructure like guardrails, pipelines, substations, and railways Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) such as maleic hydrazide and flurprimidal for height control in sensitive areas Herbicide resistance development and mitigation: rotation strategies, mechanisms of resistance, and integrated weed management Herbicide types and classifications: photosynthetic inhibitors, ACCase inhibitors, dinitroanilines, triazines, growth hormone mimics Application techniques: foliar sprays, basal bark, frill, girdle, cut stump, soil treatments, low and high-volume sprayers Spray equipment: boom vs. boomless sprayers, handgun calibration, drift control additives, air compression pressure limits Environmental safety: drift management, application restrictions under high temp/wind, sprayer cleaning protocols Weed identification: broadleaf vs. grassy weeds, exotic/invasive species laws, vegetative characteristics for classification Site-specific vegetation control: roadside, railroad, utility right-of-way, aquatic margins (with licensing compliance) Terminology and calculations: allelopathy, herbicide formulations, acid equivalents, application rates by soil type Ideal for: Students in Environmental Science, Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Public Works, or Pesticide License Training Professionals preparing for herbicide applicator certification, right-of-way vegetation management, or utility vegetation control Educators seeking detailed question banks for test preparation, lab assignments, or applied safety training modules Rich with real-world terminology and decision-based problem-solving, this guide bridges theory and practice for anyone working with herbicides and vegetation control protocols. Keywords: vegetation control, herbicide application, TVC herbicides, PGR plant regulators, frilling and girdling, weed resistance, boom sprayer calibration, soil-applied herbicides, photosynthetic inhibitors, weed ID, basal bark treatment, cut stump, drift control, pesticide certification, allelopathy, environmental spraying

Vegetation Control and Herbicide
Application Techniques 2025/2026 Exam
Questions and Answers | 100% Solved



Plant growth regulators - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Used to maintain desired height of

turf around guardrails.


Total vegetation control (TVC) herbicide - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Residual,

nonselective herbicides used around guardrails.


Girdling - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Cutting a grove or notch into the trunk of a tree to

interrupt the flow of sap between roots and crown.


Grubbing - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Uprooting plants by pulling or digging.

, Use of growth regulators instead of herbicides - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔They are

used to slow vegetation growth in areas where brownouts from herbicides

are unacceptable.


Typical growth regulators - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Maleic hydrazide, mefluidide,

and flurprimidal are used in areas where brownout from herbicides are

unacceptable.


Photosynthetic inhibitor herbicides - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔They translocate in the

xylem from the roots to the older leaves.


Meristematic tissues - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The growing points of plants.


ACCase inhibitors - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔They selectively control grass but

broadleaf plants are unaffected by them.


Dinitroanilines - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔They are soil applied to control annual

grasses and small-seeded broadleaf plants.


Herbicide-resistant weeds development - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Herbicide

controls the majority of plants and only those that possess a resistant trait

can survive and produce seed for future generations.
