FREQUENTLY TESTED QUESTIONS &
100% VERIFIED ANSWERS / GRADED A+
GUARANTEED PASS!!
2,4-D
- answers-Introduced in 1946, the first synthetic herbicide used. It was extremely
effective and economical to use and was not toxic to fish, cattle, or humans.
96-hr LC50
- answers-Concentration of herbicide in water that will kill 50% of a population of test
organisms in 96 hours
A "restricted use pesticide" is one that is:
- answers-Only approved for purchase and use by certified applicators and those under
their direct supervision
A centrifugal granular spreader was run over a test course until empty. The spreader
traveled 430 feet. The spreader has an effective swath width of 28.5 feet. The amount
of material placed in the hopper for the test was 16 lbs. What is the per acre application
rate?
- answers-Part 1: 28.5 ft * 430 ft/43,560 sq ft per acre = 0.28 acres
Part 2: 16 lb/0.28 acres = 57.1 lb per acre
A lake that is used by fishermen, hunters, and water-skiers would best be defined as
what kind of lake?
- answers-Multi-use lake
A nozzle uniformity check was performed for a 4-nozzle boom. The following outputs
were collected in a 1-minute period: 43, 47, 49 and 44 ounces. Do these 4 nozzles
apply within the acceptable 10% range?
- answers-Part 1: 43 + 47 + 49 + 44/4 = 45.8oz
Part 2: 45.8oz * 0.10 = 4.8oz
Part 3: 45.8 +/- 4.8 = a range of 41.0 to 50.6
Part 4: All 4 nozzles fall within the acceptable range. No replacements are necessary.

,A plant that grows completely below the water surface and depends upon the
surrounding water for support best describes a ___________ plant
- answers-Submersed
A plant that has parallel leaf veins hollow and cylindrical stems, swollen joints at
intervals along the stem, and leaves that arise in two ranks would most likely be a
_________.
- answers-Grass
A pond contains 42.1 acre-feet of water. If the Never-Kill herbicide product label
recommends 0.8 ppm active ingredient for control of hydrilla, how much product will be
needed if the formulation contains 5.0% active ingredient?
- answers-Part 1: 0.8 ppm * 42.1 acre-feet * 2.7 = 90.9 lbs active ingredient
Part 2: 90.9/0.05 = 1,818 lbs of Never-Kill herbicide product
A product label calls for an application rate of 8 ounces of product to be applied per
treated surface acre. How much herbicide should be placed in a full 100 gallon tank if
the sprayer is calibrated to apply 15 GPA?
- answers-Part 1: 100 gal/15 gpa = 6.67 acres treated with a full tank
Part 2: 8 oz * 6.67 acres = 53.4 oz herbicide
A roller pump is best described as:
- answers-not often used for aquatic herbicide application
A sprayer is operated over a 400-ft test course run and it takes an average of 65
seconds to complete. What is the sprayer's speed in miles per hour?
- answers-400 ft/65 sec * 1 mile/5280 ft * 3600 sec/1 hr = 4.2 mph
Absorption
- answers-Movement of herbicide, after application, into living tissue of plants
Abundant in Florida soils, which is a plant nutrient that is often limiting to plant growth in
lakes?
- answers-Phosphorus
Acceptable tolerance interval
- answers-A range of values determined by manipulating a fixed percentage (usually +/-
10%) around some given value.
Acre
- answers-Area that is equivalent to 43,560 sq ft.
Acre-feet
- answers-The average water depth, in feet, of a body of water multiplied by its surface
area in acres.

, Acre-foot
- answers-A volume of water equivalent to 1 acre of water which is 1 foot in depth
Actual travel speed
- answers-The actual distance traveled divided by divided by the amount of time
required to travel that distance; also see the terms fpm and mph
Adsorption
- answers-Adherence of a herbicide to a surface, such as a soil particle.
Agitation system
- answers-Mechanical or hydraulic system used for keeping a spray solution mixed in a
spray tank system
Algae
- answers-Primitive, single-celled or multi-celled plants that lack (true) supporting or
conducting tissues
Algae do not have ________ compared to ferns and flowering plants.
- answers-Supporting or conducting tissue
Algaecide
- answers-Chemical used to kill algae
Algaes
- answers-Primitive organisms made up of single cells that may be solitary or attached
in filaments or colonies
ALS inhibitor
- answers-Herbicides that inhibit acetolactate synthase enzyme
An aquatic pest control license allows a person to apply:
- answers-Restricted use pesticides in or around water
APM
- answers-Acres per minute treated by an applicator
Aquatic Pest Control applicator
- answers-An individual who is licensed to use or supervise the use of restricted use
pesticides, or other pesticides requiring licensure, used or applied to any standing or
running water, including banks or shorelines, excluding infusion of chlorine gas as
described in Category 7B and applicators engaged in public health related activities as
defined in Chapter 388, Florida Statutes, and the rules thereunder. This category is
valid for licensure of commercial and public applicators.
