Pesticide Core

Question 1

Explain the difference between the terms label and labeling

Answer 1

The label is information printed on or attached to the pesticide container labeling includes this label itself plus all other information you receive from the manufacture about the product when you buy it

Question 2

What do the words restricted use pesticide tell you about the pesticide product

Answer 2

Restricted use pesticide means that the product has been shown to be likely to harm people or the environment if it is not used correctly it may be purchased and used only by certified applicators and those under their direct supervision

Question 3

Where would you look to find out whether a pesticide is classified as restricted use

Answer 3

If a pesticide is classified as restricted use the words restricted use pesticide will appear in a box on the front panel of the pesticide label

Question 4

Explain the differences between chemical name common name and brand name which of these terms should you use to most accurately identify a pesticide product

Answer 4

The chemical name is a complex name that a defect identifies the chemical components and structure of the pesticide
a common name is shorter name that EPA recognizes as a substitute for the chemical name or a product
a brand-name is a name usually a trademark used by a chemical company to identify the pesticide product
the common name or the chemical name is non-common name is given the most accurate and useful way to identify a pesticide product

Question 5

Name and explain the meaning of the signal word and symbol you may see on a pesticide product

Answer 5

Caution indicates that pesticide product is slightly toxic or relatively nontoxic

warning indicates that the pesticide product is moderately toxic

danger indicates that the pesticide product is highly toxic poison and

a skull and crossbones indicates that the pesticide product is highly toxic as a poison rather than a skin or Eye irritant

Question 6

Can you use the signal word on a pesticide label to judge the likelihood of suffering a cute delayed or allergic affect if you are over exposed to the product explain

Answer 6

A signal word and symbol indicate the likelihood that you will experience acute harmful effects if you are over expose signal words do not tell you anything about the risk of delayed harmful effects or allergic affect

Question 7

What types of hazard statement should you look for in a pesticide labeling

Acute effects
precautions delayed effects
precautions allergic effect
precautions and personal protective equipment requirements may be in the section of the labeling titled hazard to humans

Question 9

What is the meaning of the statement it is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling

Answer 9

It is illegal to use a pesticide in anyway not permitted by the labeling a pesticide may be used only on the plants animals or sites named in the directions for use you may not use higher dosages higher concentrations or more frequent applications you must follow all directions for use including directions concerning safety mixing diluting storage and disposal you must wear a specifiief personal protective equipment even though you may be risking only your own safety by not wearing it

Question 10

Does the pesticide label containing all the instructions and directions for use that you need to use the product safely and legally

Answer 10

Some pesticide products have all necessary instructions and directions for the use of the product labeling for other products more instructions and directions maybe in other labeling and companies the product at the time of purchase the labeling or label of still other other products may refer to separate documents that contain specific instructions and directions pesticide users are required by law to comply with all these types of instructions and directions not just with the label itself

Question 11

Active ingredients are the chemicals in a pesticide product that control pests inert ingredients are the chemicals in a pesticide product that are added to make the product safer more effective easier to measure mix and apply and more convenient to handle

Question 13

What types of factors should you consider when you have a choice of formulations for a pest control task

Answer 13

You should think about the characteristics of each formulation and you should consider which of the formulations advantages and disadvantages are important in your application situation also consider the following do you have the right Application equipment can you apply the formulation safely will the formulation reach the target and stay in place long enough to control the past might the formulation harm the target site

Question 14

If you had a choice of either a wettable powder formulation or a granular formulation for a particular pest control task which would be the best if drift were a major concern which would be the best if you need a pesticide to stay on a surface that is not level such as foliage

Answer 14

The granular formulation would be the best choice in the first situation because granules have a much lower drift hazard than wettable powder‘s granules do not stick to no non-level surfaces so the wettable powder would be the best choice in the second situation

Question 15

If you had a choice of either a wetable powder or an emulsifiable concentrates for a particular pest control task which would be better if you were concerned about harming the treated surface which would be the best if you were deluding with very hard or alkaline water

Answer 15

The wettable powder would be the best choice in the first situation because EC‘s are corrosive and may cause pitting discoloration and other damage to treated surface wetable powders are difficult to mix and very hard to very alkaline water so the emulsified formulation would be best choice in the second situation

Question 16

Why are a adjuvants sometimes added to pesticide formulations

Answer 16

Adjuvence are added to a pesticide formulation or tank mix to increase effectiveness or safety

Question 17

What types of a Jouvence should you consider for three juicing drift for coding a surface evenly when you wish to combine two or more pesticides 481 application

Answer 17

Foaming agents and thickeners help to reduce drift spreaders help to coat the treated surface with an even layer of pesticide compatibility agents aid in combining pesticides effectively

Explain what it is meant by point source and nonpoint source contamination of the environment by pesticides and give an example of each

Answer 19

Point source pollution comes from a specific identifiable place point a pesticide spill that moves into a storm sewer is an example of a point source pollution
nonpoint source pollution comes from a wide area the movement of pesticides into streams after broadcast application is an example of a non-point source pollution

Answer 33

Avoid using more pesticide in the labeling directs Avoid application methods that present risks keep pesticides from back siphoning into your water source locate pesticide storage facilities at least 100 feet from Wells Springs sinkholes and other sites are directly linked to groundwater locate mix load sites and equipment cleaning size at least 100 feet from surface water or from direct link to ground water or take precautions to protect those sites dispose of unused pesticides pesticide containers and equipment and container rinse water correctly

Question 34

Explain why the amount of water on the surface of the soil at the pesticide you say is an important factor in groundwater contamination

Answer 34

If there is more water on the soil than the soil can hold the water along with any pesticide it contains it’s likely to move downward to the ground water

Question 35

Explain how the solubility absorption and persistence of a pesticide affect its ability to move into groundwater

Answer 35

Solubility some pesticides dissolve easily in water and are more likely to move into water systems Absorption some pesticides become tightly attached strongly absorbed to soil particles and are not likely to move out of the soil and into water systems Persistence some pesticides do not break down quickly and remain in the environment for a long time so are more likely to move into the ground water
