Ans: are "surface-active agents" that decrease the surface tension of water,
allowing the water carrier to spread over the surface rather than forming droplets
Q: Calendar spraying or overuse of broad spectrum
Ans: may also kill natural predators and parasites of that pest
Q: Systemic or translocated pesticides
Ans: move within the plant or animal from the site of uptake to other parts of
