RHODE ISLAND PESTICIDE TEST PAPER 2025/2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔insect relatives - ✔✔mites, predatory mites, ticks, spiders, they are closely related to
insects. Do not have 6 legs wings or 3 body divisions
✔✔Inversion - ✔✔Atmospheric conditions in which the air near the soil surface is cooler
than the air above it. Results in very little air movement
✔✔Leaching - ✔✔the transportation of dissolved molecules through the soil via
groundwater. Amount of leeching depends on amount of water present and permeability
of soil.
✔✔Ligule - ✔✔a small flap of tissue at the base of the upper leaf blade of grasses.
✔✔mechanical control - ✔✔Insect pest control which uses a purpose-built mechanical
device or hands (and feet).
✔✔Metabolite - ✔✔a compound that is formed in one reaction and then consumed in
another reaction in a metabolic pathway
✔✔microbial pesticides - ✔✔microorganisms that kill inhibit or outcompete pests,
including insects and other microorganisms
✔✔mode of action - ✔✔the way the agent kills or inhibits growth
✔✔multiple resistance - ✔✔the phenomenon in which a pest is resistant to more than
one class of pesticides
✔✔mutagenic - ✔✔Producing a change in the DNA of a cell
✔✔Mycelium - ✔✔Vegetative part of fungus consisting of thread like hyphae
✔✔necrosis - ✔✔Death of plant tissue, usually characterized by browning and drying
✔✔Nematodes - ✔✔Unsegmented round work that live free in moist soil, water or
decaying matter or as parasites in plants and animals.
✔✔non-infectious disease - ✔✔A disease caused by unfavorable growing conditions
and is not transmitted from plant to plant.
✔✔Non selective (broad spectrum) pesticide - ✔✔A pesticide effective against a wide
range of related organisms both desirable and non desirable.
, ✔✔Noxious Weed - ✔✔A plant defined by law as being particularly troublesome,
undesirable, and difficult to control.. harm to public health, crops, livestock, land or other
property.
✔✔Nozzle Brush - ✔✔A device resembling a toothbrush that can clean a nozzle without
damaging it.
✔✔Off-target movement - ✔✔Movement of a pesticide out of the area intended for
application
✔✔oncogenic - ✔✔causing tumors
✔✔Organophosphates - ✔✔A group of insecticides that effect people in the nervous
system
✔✔Overlap Percent - ✔✔Percent of treated area that receives pesticide from two or
more nozzles or adjourning swaths.
✔✔Particulate respirator - ✔✔A filtering face piece respirator that screens out dust lost
and other particles.
✔✔Paurometabolous - ✔✔Gradual metamorphosis. Immatures
("nymphs") are terrestrial and undergo subtle changes between molts to adulthood.
✔✔Pathogen - ✔✔An organism that causes disease
✔✔Percolation - ✔✔The movement of water through soil profile.
✔✔penetrant - ✔✔Adjuvant such as crop oil concentrates that increase spray
penetration into leaf.
✔✔Perennial weed - ✔✔a weed that lives for more than two years
✔✔Permeability - ✔✔The ability of a rock or sediment to let fluids pass through its open
spaces, or pores.
✔✔persistence - ✔✔Condition of a pesticide remaining in its strength for some time
after application. Measured by half life or time after application.
✔✔Photodegradation - ✔✔Breakdown of chemicals by the action of sunlight.
✔✔Physical Compatibility Test - ✔✔A smaller test to determine the pesticides you want
to mix are physically compatible.
