UTAH PESTICIDE APPLICATOR EXAM
WITH BEST SOLUTIONS
Term -----------Definition
Physical modification - answer-altering
the light, humidity, temperature, etc. of
the pests environment
Host resistance / genetic control - answer-
genetic modification = host resistant
species
Bio magnification - answer-some
organisms accumulate chemical residues in
higher concentrations than those found in
the organisms they consume
,Food chain - answer-sequence of amimals
feeding in a natural environment
Non-living agents - answer-some plants are
damaged by weather extremes, salts, air
polutants, and inadequate or excessive
fertilization
Pest host - answer-animal or plant on
which the organism lives
Natural controls - answer-measures that
destroy pests without dependance on
humans for continued success (climate,
wind, heat, rain)
, Applied controls - answer-biological,
mechanical, cultual, physical, genetic,
chamical, and regulatory
Biological control - answer-involves
locating the native home of the pest and
introducing a suitible natural enemy into
the system. Can be one of the most
economic means of control.
Mechanical control - answer-use of devices,
machines, or other physical methods to
