Which type of adjuvant functions as a wetting agent and spreader (i.e., physically altering the surface
tension of spray droplets)?
A. Buffer
B. Extender
C. Surfactant - CORRECT ANSWERS-C
Which type of adjuvant increases the viscosity of spray mixtures?
A. Sticker
B. Extender
C. Thickener - CORRECT ANSWERS-C
Using barriers to prevent pests from getting into an area is an example of which type of pest
management method?
A. Biological
B. Mechanical
C. Genetic - CORRECT ANSWERS-B
Why practice - CORRECT ANSWERS-Helps to keep a balanced ecosystem, Pesticides can be
ineffective, Saves money, healthier environmental
,Components of IPM - CORRECT ANSWERS-Identify the pest and understand its biology
Monitor the pest
Develop the pest management goal
Implement the IPM program
Record and evaluate results
Types of pests - CORRECT ANSWERS-Key
Secondary
Occasional
Key - CORRECT ANSWERS-cause major damage
Secondary - CORRECT ANSWERS-problem when key pest is controlled or absent
Occasional - CORRECT ANSWERS-change in population due to change in life cycles,
environmental influences, or a result of human activities
Economic threshold - CORRECT ANSWERS-when the population density of a pest causes
financial damage
Economic injury level - CORRECT ANSWERS-the pest population density that causes losses
equal to the cost of control measures
Action threshold - CORRECT ANSWERS-the pest level at which some type of pest
management action must be taken
Predetermined level deemed unacceptable
Why Pesticide Applications Fail - CORRECT ANSWERS-Pest identification
Dosage
Incorrect use
,Application timing
Consider life cycle stage
Application Equipment
Environmental conditions
Pesticide degradation in storage
Pesticide Resistance - CORRECT ANSWERS-Avoid continually and frequently using the same
pesticide
Use new or altered pesticide indicated by the code number located at the top of the label indicating the
mode of action
Group 2 Herbicides - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Group 4A Insecticides - CORRECT ANSWERS-Neonicotinoids
ALS - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Change pesticide use patterns - CORRECT ANSWERS-largest to small doses
This reduces the proportion of the total pest population exposed to the chemical resulting in a large pool
of individuals still susceptible to the pesticide.
Treat alternating generations of pests with pesticides that have different modes of actions helps to
decrease the selection pressure for resistance
FIFRA - CORRECT ANSWERS-Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act - CORRECT ANSWERS-Provides framework
for the federal pesticide regulatory program.
Under FIFRA - CORRECT ANSWERS-EPA is responsible for registering or authorizing pesticide
products for sale, distribution, and use in the United States
, Rules under FIFRA - CORRECT ANSWERS-Pesticides may be applied to control a pest not
specified on the label if it is applied to a crop, animal, or site specifically listed on the labeling
Any method of application
Pesticide applied at a dosage less than the maximum allowed concentration Except for termite
preconstruction treatments apparently.
A pesticide-fertilizer mixture
FIFRA give the EPA the authority to - CORRECT ANSWERS-Impose civil or criminal penalties
Stop the sale or use of any pesticide
Issue removal orders and seize products to keep them out of the market if it poses a risk
Reevaluate older pesticides to ensure that they meet more recent safety standards
Implement programs to require the certification of applicators of resticted-use pesticides (RUPs)
Protect agri workers and pesticide handlers from occupational hazards or exposure
Restricted use pesticides - CORRECT ANSWERS-pesticides exceeds one or more human health
toxicity criteria or is hazardous to nontarget organisms or ecosystem.
Sold only to certified applicators
Private applicators - CORRECT ANSWERS-Use or supervise the use of any RUP for the purpose
of producing an agricultural commodity on their own property or property they rent or lease
Commercial applicators - CORRECT ANSWERS-Individuals who use or supervise the use of any
RUP for any purpose on any property except for those listed under the definition of a private applicator
Tolerances - CORRECT ANSWERS-max residue limit
EPA determines the limit by considering - CORRECT ANSWERS-The toxicity of the pesticide
and its breakdown products
How much of the pesticide is applied and how often.
How much of the pesticide remains in or on food by the time it is marketed and prepared
