A+| ASSURED SUCCESS !!
Distinguish b/n grasses and broadleaves: - ANSWER-GRASSES:
are herbaceous monocots (one leaf at germination); narrow and
upright leaves with parallel veins
What is the relationship b/n pressure and application rate? -
ANSWER-higher
pressure = higher
rate/output
lower pressure = lower
rate/output
*higher pressure can also create fine droplets and a higher drift
potential
What is the relationship b/n nozzles and application rate? -
ANSWER-larger
oriface = higher
rate
,smaller oriface =
lower rate
What is the relationship b/n equipment speed and application
rate? - ANSWER-- speed determines the area you cover over
time - inverse relationship:
slower/less speed = more material applied over an area (ie.
higher rate) faster/more speed = less material applied over an
area (ie. lower rate)
What is the relationship b/n concentration and application rate?
– ANSWER-higher concentration = higher rate
lower concentration = lower rate
Steps to follow during application: - ANSWER-1. mix onsite if
practical
2. frequently check equipment operation to make sure calibration
is maintained
3. frequently check nozzles
4. keep an eye on weather, wind, temperature, people and
animals
5. avoid walking through treated areas
Steps to follow after application: - ANSWER-1. drain all
pesticide from tank
,2. clean equipment thoroughly and immediately following a
pesticide application
True or False: It is required by law to maintain backflow
protection (air gap, backflow devices) b/n the water source and
any pesticide equipment – ANSWER-True
Why is it important to calibrate your application equipment? -
ANSWER-it ensures that you are applying the correct rate of
pesticide uniformly to the target site; if you do not calibrate, you
really don't know how much pesticide you are actually applying
What are the factors that influence application rate? - ANSWER-
1. speed
2. nozzles
3. pressure
4. concentration
5. height of sprayer (more height = lower application rate)
Calibration Procedures in Chapter 10 (pgs 111- 120) in the
Category J: Natural
Areas, Forestry, and Right-of-Way Study Manual
- ANSWER-
, Area: - ANSWER-the extent or size of a surface measured in
square units
Calibration: - ANSWER-the practice of verifying and/or adjusting
pesticide application equipment to accurately apply a
predetermined/calculated amount of product per unit area
BROADLEAVES: are herbaceous plants with broad, rounded or
flattened leaves
with netted veins; include species with annual, biennial, and
perennial life cycles
Identify the plant meristems (growing points), roots, and
epidermis: - ANSWER
MERISTEMS: are the growing points or the points of most active
growth (shoot
apical, root apical, and lateral
meristems)
-
ROOT: an organ, situated below ground, which anchors and
supports the plant and absorbs moisture and inorganic nutrients
