CORRECT ANSWERS GUARANTEEING
100% PASS
Typical PPE while treating and handling seed include:Correct
Answers long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes with socks, and
chemical-resistant gloves.
What must you keep record of?Correct Answers Company
name and license number
Customer name
Specific site of restricted use pesticide application
date of treatment
Trade name
Application rate and quantity used
Temperature and direction of wind
time application begins and ends
systemic seed treatmentCorrect Answers penetrates the roots
and germinating seed, then moves up into the stems and
leaves
nonsystemic seed treatment (contact)Correct Answers
treatment protects ONLY the outside of the seed or seedling.
how to check compatibility of products?Correct Answers pre-
mix a small amount
What can cause damping off?Correct Answers Fusarium,
PYTHIUM, Rhizoctonia
What diseases cause the seed to look fuzzy?Correct Answers
Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicilium, or PYTHIUM
,Seedborne pathogens are?Correct Answers carried on the
seed coat or within the seed
Soilborne pathogens survive how?Correct Answers in the soil
or crop residue and attack seeds or seedlings after planting
Back-siphoningCorrect Answers is the reversal of normal flow
in a system caused by a negative pressure
eg. water pressure is lost and chemicals are sucked out of a
mix tank through a submerged hose into a well or municipal
water supply
BackflowCorrect Answers Is the reversal of normal flow in a
system because the downstream pressure is greater than the
supply pressure
eg. you are using a pumping system to send water up into a
tank and a large irrigation system down the road starts causing
the municipal water pressure to drop, the treatment chemical in
your tank will travel back down into the pipe and into the water
supply
Why can you frequently operate without a dryer for corn and
soy?Correct Answers They have a fairly small amount of
surface area relative to the mass of the seed
You want to make a slurry that will treat 150 cwt of soybeans.
The label rate is 3 fl oz/cwt and the chemical supplier said 5fl
oz/cwt total slurry solution works well.Correct Answers 1. 3 fl
oz/cwt X 150 cwt + 450 fl oz
2. 5fl ox - 3 fl oz = 2 fl oz
3. 150 cwt x 2fl oz/cwt = 300 fl ox
4. Answer:
IN 2.34 gallons of water add 450 fl oz of product
why are colorants used?Correct Answers prevent treated seed
from entering the food chain
improve seed appearance
, improve coverage
WirewormCorrect Answers Damage: larvae may attack the
seed endosperm, bore into the underground portion of
seedlings, or attack the root system and crown of larger corn
plants.
BackflowCorrect Answers Is the reversal of normal flow in a
system because the downstream pressure is greater than the
supply pressure

Soilborne pathogens survive how?Correct Answers in the soil
or crop residue and attack seeds or seedlings after planting
Seed TreatmentCorrect Answer Chemical or biological
substances that are applied to seeds or vegetative propagation
materials to control disease organisms; control insects; and
other pests.
Seed Treatment PesticidesCorrect Answer Bactericides,
fungicides, insecticides, growth regulators, and herbicide
antidotes
Reasons for seed treatmentCorrect Answer seed production,
low test weight, bad germ, stand issues, precise populations,
seeds expensive, high yield potential, seed is thought to carry
seedborne pathogens
NON seed treatmentsCorrect Answer Seed-applied nutrients
that do not perform a pest control function.
Grain TreatmentsCorrect Answer Pesticides intended to protect
stored food or feed grain
