QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+
Adjuvant - ANSWER: An additive to a pesticide that enhances pesticide effectiveness.
aquatic life - ANSWER: Organisms that spend all or part of their life on surface
waters.
Direct pesticide application - ANSWER: A precise application to a specific area or
site , such as basal application to woody plants, cracks -and -crevice treatment in
buildings or specially positioned nozzles so only weeds are sprayed during a band
application to crops.
impact - ANSWER: A change in the chemical, physical (including habitat), or biological
quality of condition caused by external force
Indirect pesticide applications - ANSWER: Unintentional or intentional treatment of
pests through spraying or placement of a pesticide on a plant rather than on the pest
. (Bee's can carry pollen contamination with pesticide back to the hive where it can
kill or harm the bees there)
Leaching - ANSWER: The downward movement of pesticides and nutrients through
the soil
non-target species - ANSWER: Organisms not intended to be managed
Runoff - ANSWER: The movement of water and associated materials over the top of
the soil or impervious surfaces
Toxicity - ANSWER: the extent to which a chemical or substance is poisonous
Transformation - ANSWER: Change in a pesticides chemical structure
Transportation - ANSWER: The movement of a pesticide away from its intended site
of action (off-site)
Pollinator protection statements - ANSWER: EPA required statements on pesticide
labels that provide information on the use of the product in a way that reduces its
impact on pollinators.
pollinator - ANSWER: an insect and other organisms that carries pollen from one
flower to another
, annual - ANSWER: A plant that completes its life cycle in one year
biennial - ANSWER: A plant that completes its life cycle in two years.
Broadleaf plants - ANSWER: Plants with broad, rounded, or flattened leaves with
netted veins. Examples: dandelions and roses. Different from the narrow, bladelike
leaves with parallel veins of grasses, sedges, rushes, and onions.
Conifers - ANSWER: needle like trees or shrubs with needle like leaves that produce
seeds inside of cones
deciduous - ANSWER: (of plants and shrubs) shedding foliage at the end of the
growing season
herbaceous plants - ANSWER: Any plant with a non-woody stem that dies back to
their roots in the winter
Meristem - ANSWER: Rapidly growing plant tissue
perennial - ANSWER: A plant that survives year to year
Pollination - ANSWER: The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to
female reproductive structures in plants
rhizome - ANSWER: a horizontal, underground stem that produces new leaves,
shoots, and roots
Translocation - ANSWER: The movement of water and nutrients through the organs
of the plant
woody plants - ANSWER: Plants with basic stem structures that are priennial with
annual growth rings visible in a cross section of the stem
Abiotic stresses - ANSWER: Non-living plant stresses
cultural practices - ANSWER: Methods of controlling a plant and the environment
that plant grows in, such as tilling, fertilization, mowing, pruning, and watering.
diagnosis - ANSWER: The positive identification of a problem and it's cause
location effect - ANSWER: Influences of site conditions, such as exposure, soil type,
and moisture on plants
Plant symptoms - ANSWER: Abnormal conditions of plants that indicate a disease or
disorder
