graded A+
Action threshold - CORRECT ANSWER: pest level at which management action must be taken
Active ingredient - CORRECT ANSWER: chemical in a pesticide product responsible for the
pesticidal activity, concentrated
Adjuvants - CORRECT ANSWER: Chemicals that do not produce pesticidal activities. Improve
mixing or application or enhance performance of AI
Aerosols (A) - CORRECT ANSWER: One or more AI's and a solvent. Contain a low % of AI.
RTU areosols are insecticide sprays in a can, for example
Applied controls - CORRECT ANSWER: biological, mechanical, cultual, physical, genetic,
chamical, and regulatory
Attractants - CORRECT ANSWER: Pheromones such as meat, sugars, syrups...
Baits (B) - CORRECT ANSWER: AI mixed with food or other substance. Usually low % AI
Biological control - CORRECT 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.
, Biomagnification - CORRECT ANSWER: some organisms accumulate chemical residues in
higher concentrations than those found in the organisms they consume
Chemical control - CORRECT ANSWER: pesticifes that are naturally derived or synthesised
Chemical name - CORRECT ANSWER: identifies chemical composition and must be stated on
the label
Commercial applicator - CORRECT ANSWER: use restricted use pesticide on property exempt

Dusts (D) - CORRECT ANSWER: Most are RTU and have low % of AI, and an innert dry
carrier (chalk or clay)
e.g., 80% SP - CORRECT ANSWER: 80% by weight of AI and is a soluable powder. Thus a 10
lb bag has 8 lbs of AI and 2lbs of innert ingredients
Econimic injuy level - CORRECT ANSWER: pest population densith causes losses equal to the
cost of control measures
