Absorption - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The movement of pesticides
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
into plants and, to a lesser degree, soil microorganisms.
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
Adjuvant/Additive - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Substance added to a |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
pesticide to improve its effectiveness, usability or safety such as

|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
agents.
|/\

|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
prevent reaching unacceptable levels of aesthetic damage to a plant
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
or landscape
|/\ |/\

|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
by another
|/\ |/\
Annual - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A plant that completes its life cycle
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
in one year
|/\ |/\ |/\

bacteria.
|/\
, Backflow - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Reverse flow of a liquid (such as

chemigation or when filling tanks.
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
Beneficial insects - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Insects that are essential
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
for pollination of plants or play a role in plant health care.
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
Biennial - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A plant that requires two growing

|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
veins of grasses, sedges, rushes, and onions.
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
Calibration - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A practice of verifying and |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
adjusting fert/pesticide application equipment to accurately apply a
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
predetermined or calculated amount of product per area unit.
