- Practice question 1
An adjuvant, added to a pesticide mixture, mainly functions to
- A.replace the active pesticide ingredient entirely
- B.improve the effectiveness of the pesticide, such as by aiding its spread or absorption
- C.neutralize the pesticide so it no longer has any effect
- D.serve solely as a source of plant nutrition
Show the answer
B. improve the effectiveness of the pesticide, such as by aiding its spread or absorption
Adjuvants enhance how well the actual pesticide performs once applied.
- Practice question 2
Foliar application, as a fertilizer method, mainly involves
- A.burying fertilizer deep beneath the soil surface
- B.spraying a nutrient solution directly onto the leaves of a plant
- C.scattering solid fertilizer randomly across the field
- D.injecting fertilizer directly into the plant's root system
Show the answer
B. spraying a nutrient solution directly onto the leaves of a plant
Foliar feeding delivers nutrients directly through the leaf surface.
- Practice question 3
Improved seed varieties, as a farm input, mainly help to
- A.reduce crop yield significantly
- B.increase susceptibility to disease
- C.eliminate the need for any other farm inputs
- D.increase crop yield and resistance to disease
Show the answer
D. increase crop yield and resistance to disease
