What is a pesticide - ANSa substance used for destroying insects or other organisms
dangerous to cultivated vegetation or to animals.
Pesticides are made of - ANSActive and inert ingredients
AI - ANSActive factor - chemical effective towards pest
Inert substances - ANSdon't harm pest however make the AI extra powerful
Herbicide components - ANSmay be equipped to use or may also require dilution with
provider (oil or liquid)
60WDG - ANS60% AI water-dispersible granule
4EC - ANS4 lbs ai consistent with gallon of emulsifiable concentrate
SP - ANSSoluable powder - dry system. Mixed with water. Dissolve quite simply and form
true answer.
WP, P - ANSWettable Powder - dry components. Finely floor powder. Forms suspension not
authentic answer.
Abrasive, calls for agitation, inhalation chance
DF, WDG - ANSDry flowables or water dispersible granules - dry components. Similar to WP
besides AI is in granule in place of powder
form suspension. Less dust than WP
G - ANSGranules - dry components. AI lined with clay, newspaper
Applied directly, no mixing
Low hazzard to applicators
P, PS - ANSPellets - dry formula. Same as granules however large
D - ANSDusts - dry formulations.
Low percentage of AI on very first-class provider (talk, chalk, clay)
Most ready to apply (no blending)
Inhilation risk
Drift hazzard (unusual use)
EC - ANSEmulsifiable pay attention - wet formulation.
AI mixed with 1+ solvents and emulsifier that allows blending with water
Easily absorbed thru pores and skin (dermal hazzard)
,ME - ANSMicroencapsulated - wet system
AI is surrounded through plastic coating suspended in liquid
Time- release product
Bees catty it again to hive and might poison colony
S - ANSSolutions - wet method
Form true solution when blended
Will no longer settle or separate
ULV - ANSUltra-low extent awareness - wet formulation
Have high % ai with a solvent (typically oil)
Low utility rate according to acre
Fumigants - ANSProduce gasoline, vapor, fumes, and so on.
Special licencing required
Highly toxic
Restricted use pesticides - ANSOnly purchased by means of licensed applicators or humans
beneath their supervision
Records of applications have to be maintained for 2 years
Adjuvant - ANSChemical modifies physical homes, enhances overall performance or both of
pesticides
Includes spray modifiers
application adjuvants - ANSdefoamer, water conditioner (acids)
Drift discount components - ANSthickening marketers growth droplet size
Droplets must be over 2 hundred microns
Sticker - ANSincrease adherence of chemical to surface
Surfactant, Spreaders - ANSSpread spray blend greater very well
Decreases surface tension of water
Penetrants - ANShelps skip through outer surface of flowers - through waxy coating on
leaves (cuticle)
Defoaming sellers - ANSeliminate foam from spray tanks (specifically all through agitation)
Mixing of insecticides - ANSensure that insecticides preserve houses when you mix
Do not exchange toxicity or bodily houses whilst mixed
Illegal to combine pesticides with merchandise prohibited on label
Chemical incompatibility - ANSantagonism: decrease effectiveness
, Synergism: boom effectiveness (may be bad)
*cannot tell if chemically incompatible through blending by myself
bodily incompatibility - ANSpesticides do not blend well
Curdling, gel formation, sludge
Perform jar compatibility check
Proper mixing order - ANS1) fill tank 1/four-half full of provider and agitate
2) upload compatibility agent
three) add suspension merchandise. Dry first (WP, DF), then drinks (F,L)
4) upload emulsion products (EC)
five) add solution merchandise
6) upload surfactants/penetrants
7) finish filling tank
Residual or continual pesticides - ANSRemain energetic for days, weeks, years
Pre- emergence or early pre-plant
Residue may be dangerous to non-targets
PHI - ANSPreharvest interval - today's time to spray prior to harvest
Tolerance - ANSamount of chemical residue that can legally stay on food or feed
Selective pesticides - ANScontrol pest with little harm to associated organisms
Non selective (large spectrum) - ANScontrol nearly all associated organisms. May result in
pest resurgence via killing beneficials
Nonselective pesticide resistance - ANSOver use of extensive spectrum pesticides
Insects - may additionally kill herbal preditors of pest -> resurgence
Plants - through the years best plant life which are resistant survive and produce seed
systemic (translocated) pesticide - ANSmove in plant / animal from uptake website to
different components
Effective in flowers with underground structures
Contact pesticide - ANScontrol by direct touch with pest
kill annuals if all developing parts are above ground
Information on a label - ANSImpact on flora and fauna, PPE, Re- access c programming
language
Before purchasing study label - ANSlabel is criminal report, preferred use pesticide isn't
always given type
Label - Trade call - ANSthis unique method
label - chemical call - ANSshows what lively substances in system
