MANAGEMENT 3OT EXAMS WITH
CORRECT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Timing of Pesticide Applications - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Can be improved by making applications
when the pest is susceptible to an application based on its biology, exposure, or climatic conditions
Age of insects - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️The younger the insect stage the more susceptible it is to
chemical control
How to manage instar caterpillars. - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔F️ irst of second ones can be managed
with a biological spray, full grown larva are unaffected by the spray.

are actively growing.
When to control annual weeds? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Easiest to control in the early spring while
they are still small.

when in the rosette stage.
When to control Perennial weeds? (Dandelion, white clover) - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔C ️ an be
controlled with a herbicide application made in the early bloom stage or in the fall.
pesticide resistance - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️The ability of a pest species that was once effectively
controlled by pesticide is now no longer effective.
inherited trait - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔A
️ characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring.
,Integrated pest management - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔a️ pplies to ornamental crops such as turf-grass,
herbaceous annuals and perennials, trees, and shrubs.
IPM stands for. - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Integrated Pest Management
IPM provides. - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️complete management program that is the most effective
solution to pests such as insects, plant pathogens, weeds, and vertebrates.
pesticide definition - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️is any material used to kill, attract, repel, regulate, or
interrupt growth and mating pests or to regulate plant growth
Pesticides used for IPM - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Fungicides, growth regulators, herbicides,
insecticides, miticides, molluscicides, repellents, and rodenticides.
Contact pesticide must. - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Must physically touch the pest organism or be
sprayed on the site the pest frequents to exert an action.
Contact fungicides are called. - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Protective or preventive fungicides, this is
because they provide a protective barrier that prevents fungus from entering plant tissues.
Systemic pesticide - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Enters the plant via roots or above ground plant tissues
and is moved inside the plant.
Systemic pesticides are sometimes called. - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔c️ urative pesticide because the
chemical penetrates the plant and stops the disease after the infection has started or after the first
symptoms.
Non-selective pesticides - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️exert their action on a wide variety of pests
Selective pesticides - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Will control only certain types or stages of pests while
leaving non-target organisms unaffected
, Pre-emergence herbicides - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️are applied to prior to weed seed germination
Post-emergence Herbicides - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔a️ re applied to weeds that are actively growing.
They work best in bright sunlight.
Rotating pesticides strategy - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Using different modes of action or different sites
is a workable management system that delays the onset of resistance.
Where to find the mode of action of site on the product? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️By looking at the
numeric code (group number) at the top of the product label.
Non-Target plants - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️The plants that are not intended to be sprayed during a
pesticide application
Drift - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️spray, vapor, and particle of pesticides can move the product from the
site of the application to a non-target area.
Posting and Notification - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔-️ Notification signs must be posted at the start of an
application to a treatment site.
-For residential turf-grass applications, two signs must be posted.
-Any person who requests to be notified of an application must be notified
Pre and post application procedures (Preparing area) - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Restrict the area from
people and pests throughout the re-entry interval as listed on the product label or until the spray has
dried.
Pre and post application procedures (Cleaning hard surfaces) - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️After the
application clean up any granules that have fallen on hard surfaces, blow or sweep the material back
into the turf-grass.
