2,4 DP - CORRECT ANSWER: A phenoxy herbicide similar in chemistry to 2,4-D.
2,4-D - CORRECT ANSWER: growth-regulating phenoxy herbicide that acts like a
hormone. Formulated principally as amine salts and esters and sold under a wide
variety of trade names. It is available in liquid or granular form. Very effective against
dandelions and many other broadleaf weeds
2,4-D is an example of: - CORRECT ANSWER: selective postemergence herbicide
A good trap for catching moles is one that: - CORRECT ANSWER: is properly set with a
soil obstruction to block the runway
A good way to determine which animal, the mole or the pocket gopher is responsible for
damage to a lawn is to: - CORRECT ANSWER: learn to identify the characteristic
mounds left by each animal
Above ground symptoms of root disease include: - CORRECT ANSWER: yellowing of
leaves, branch and shoot dieback and wilting during stress
Aboveground pests, - CORRECT ANSWER: such as sod webworms, armyworms,
cutworms, and chinch bugs, feed on turfgrass blades and stems.
Acclaim (fenoxaprop). - CORRECT ANSWER: Very effective control of annual grasses.
Not for use on bentgrass or bermudagrass. In fact, Acclaim will suppress bermudagrass
that has invaded other lawn species. May temporarily discolor desirable lawn grasses,
,especially Kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass, however recovery normally occurs in
10 to 14 days.
air pressure sprayers - CORRECT ANSWER: sprayers require a sealed tank, pump and
nozzle.
Algae - CORRECT ANSWER: A green to blackish algae slime may form on bare soil or
thinned turf in low, wet, shaded or heavily used and compacted areas. The slimy mass
of algae dries to form a thin, black crust that later cracks and peels.
Animal Urine injury - CORRECT ANSWER: Injury from dog or other animal urine may
resemble brown patch or dollar spot.
annual weeds complete their life cycle in: - CORRECT ANSWER: less than one year
Application Equipment includes: - CORRECT ANSWER: low pressure sprayers and
high pressure sprayers
Application methods vary with: - CORRECT ANSWER: The type of pesticide, host plant,
target pest
Application rate formula - CORRECT ANSWER: mph=gpmx5,940/mph x w
gpa = application rate in gallons per acre (treated area)
gpm = gallons per minute delivered by nozzle
mph = speed of tractor in miles per hour
w = width.
Bark injuries serve as entrances for canker pathogens - CORRECT ANSWER: true
,Barnyard grass: - CORRECT ANSWER: A coarse warm-season annual grass with a
flattened stem, especially near the base. Lower portion of the plant tends to be reddish
purple. The seed head branches into six to eight short compact segments. Ligule and
auricles are absent.
Barricade (prodiamine) - CORRECT ANSWER: Can be used on most species grown in
Kansas. Season-long control is possible with a single application.
Before using any toxicant it is a good idea to: - CORRECT ANSWER: read the label
Bermudagrass - CORRECT ANSWER: Warm-season perennial that produces both
rhizomes and stolons that lie flat and creep across an area, rooting at the nodes.
Flowering culms, flattened erect or ascending 4 to 15 inches tall; ligule features a
conspicuous ring of white hairs. A serious pest of cool-season grasses.
Betasan (bensulide) - CORRECT ANSWER: Can be used on cool-season grasses
including bentgrass greens; also bermudagrass and zoysiagrass.
Biennial weeds example - CORRECT ANSWER: roundlef mallow and wild carrot
Biennial weeds normally occur at the same time as - CORRECT ANSWER: perennial
broadleaf weeds
Billbugs - CORRECT ANSWER: may infest zoysiagrass in eastern and southern
Kansas. They have also been found in bermudagrass and bluegrass.
Bindweed, field - CORRECT ANSWER: A deep-rooted perennial vine common
throughout most of the region. It is one of the more difficult weeds to control. The spade-
shaped leaves have rounded tips and vary in size. The funnel shaped flowers vary from
white to light pink and are about the size of a nickel. The plants readily climb over
shrubs and other ornamentals. It spreads by both seed and roots. Other common
names: Creeping jenny; perennial morning glory.
, Black vine weevil larvae feed on: - CORRECT ANSWER: roots
Bluegrass, annual - CORRECT ANSWER: A low-growing, compact, tufted winter
annual. Some flattened stems may lie close to the ground. It does not have rhizomes.
Leaves are soft, light-green and boat-shaped at the tip. Starts growth from seed in early
fall and often grows throughout winter. Can produce seed heads when mowed at 3⁄16
inch. May die suddenly during summer months.
Broadleaf weeds - CORRECT ANSWER: Several postemergence herbicides are used
to selectively control annual, biennial and perennial broadleaf weeds in turfgrasses.
Brown Patch - CORRECT ANSWER: Rhizoctonia salami most common and important
disease of tall fescue in Kansas
Brown patch initially is - CORRECT ANSWER: Purple-green but quickly fades to light
brown
Brown patch is a - CORRECT ANSWER: Summer disease
Brown patch is more severe on - CORRECT ANSWER: Turf grasses under high
nitrogen fertilization
Buried Debris - CORRECT ANSWER: A thin layer of soil over buried rocks, lumber,
bricks, plaster, or concrete dries out rapidly in dry summer weather and may resemble
disease.
Calibration - CORRECT ANSWER: is the process of determining the spray volume that
will be applied to a given area under specific conditions.
