No agitation<br>needed. BUT\u2026 they can be a splash hazard, and can be easily absorbed through the skin.<br>Wettable powders- Are usually very compatible with other pesticides. BUT\u2026 they can be a inhalation<br>hazard. Because they are not soluble in water they can be abrasive to equipment and they usually<br>require agitation.<br>Soluble powders- Are similar to the wettable powders, except they dissolve more easily in water. for that<br>reason, they&#8217;re not as abrasive to equipment and they usually require agitation.<br>Emulsifiable concentrates- these pesticides\/petroleum solvents mixtures are formulated with an<br>emulsifier that helps the formulations with water. they penetrate plant tissue. BUT\u2026 they are easily<br>absorbed through human skin, they pair a significant eye hazard to handlers, and they require agitation<br>in the mix tank. They can be phytotoxic to plants.<br>Flowables- These pesticide formulations are made of finely ground pesticide particles with a liquid<br>carrier and an emulsifier. They are easy to handle and apply. BUT\u2026 they require tank agitation and<br>contribute to equipment wear.<br>Dusts- Finely ground pesticide particles combined with dry, inert carriers. They dont require mixing and<br>they can provide long-term control. BUT\u2026 they pose an inhalation hazard to applicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>QAC 201 Exam 3 Questions and Answers<br>Covariate &#8211; Answer A variable that is possibly predictive of the outcome under study<br>Confounder &#8211; Answer A variable that is related to both the treatment and the outcome<br>Moderator &#8211; Answer A third variable that, depending on its level, changes the relationship (strength<br>or direction) between two other variables.<br>Volunteer sample &#8211; Answer Consists of people who are willing to volunteer for a study<br>Convenience sample &#8211; Answer A form of nonprobability sample using respondents who are<br>convenient or readily accessible to the researcher\u2014for example, employees, friends, or relatives<br>Simple random sample (SRS) &#8211; Answer A sample where n individuals are selected from a population<br>in a way that every possible combination of n individuals is equally likely<br>Cluster sampling &#8211; Answer A probability sampling technique in which clusters of participants within<br>the population of interest are selected at random, followed by data collection from all individuals in each<br>cluster.<br>Stratified sampling &#8211; Answer A type of probability sampling in which the population is divided into<br>groups with a common attribute and a random sample is chosen within each group.<br>Observational study &#8211; Answer Observes individuals and measures variables of interest but does not<br>attempt to influence the responses<br>Experimental study &#8211; Answer Researcher manipulates one of the variables and tries to determine<br>how the manipulation influences other variables<br>independent variable &#8211; Answer variable that is manipulated<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>QAC Law and Reg Questions and<br>Answers<br>Define Integrated Pest Management (IPM) &#8211; Answer Integration of biological and cultural pest<br>control techniques with the use of selective pesticide, when these necessary, to achieve acceptable level<br>of control with the least possible harm to non-target organisms and the environment.<br>A pest management philosophy that utilizes all the suitable pest management techniques and methods<br>to keep pest populations below economically injurious levels. Pest management techniques must be<br>environmentally and economically sound.<br>A sustainable pest management strategy that focuses on long-term prevention or suppression of pest<br>problems through a combination of biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools that minimizes<br>economic, health, and environmental risks.<br>Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines,<br>and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism. Pest control tools are<br>selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, to beneficial and non-target<br>organisms, and to the environment.<br>Main aim is to control only the harmful pest without affecting beneficial and non-target organsism,<br>human health, and the environment.<br>Differentiate among key pests, occasional pests, and secondary pests. &#8211; Answer Key Pests- Pests that<br>cause major damage on a regular basis.
