ILLINOIS PESTICIDE APPLICATOR EXAM RIGHTS-OFWAY LATEST STUDY QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS (GUARANTEED PASS) | RATED A+
1. For the formulation application rate, the concentration rate is based on what? - Answer>>>
Total volume of spray solution rather than area (gallons of formulation per 100 gallons spray
solution)
2. What are the typical injury symptoms of growth hormones? - Answer>>> Leaf rolling
(strapped/cupped), twisting of stems/petioles, root meristem damage; restricted/malformed
lateral roots
3. What are the three steps to estimating pesticide allowance in regards to seasonal restriction
limits? - Answer>>> Determine how many pounds of active ingredient have already been
applied, calculate how many pounds of active ingredients are remaining based on the limit,
convert pounds of active ingredient remaining to a product rate to find out how much product
can still be applied without exceeding the limit
4. The best weed-control programs are called and integrate which
two control methods? - Answer>>> Integrated Weed (Vegetation) Management, cultural and
chemical
5. What are the typical injury symptoms of meristematic inhibitors? - Answer>>> Yellowing,
purpling on new leaves, swollen roots, browning (indicating death), stunting/narrow, upright
leaves (grasses)
6. What five steps can be taken to prevent herbicide resistence? - Answer>>> Scout regularly to
identify resistant weeds, rotate herbicides with different sites of action, apply herbicides in tankmixed/prepackaged/sequential mixtures with multiple sites of action, use mechanical and other
non-chemical control practices, and clean equipment before moving from areas infested with
resistant weeds to areas that are not infested
7. To make a fair comparison between two products or formulations, true equivalents are based
on , not -
Answer>>> Acid equivalency per gallon/lb, lbs active ingredient per gallon/lb
8. What two things does droplet size impact? - Answer>>> Coverage and drift potential
9. Spray droplets smaller than______ microns are at high risk of drifting - Answer>>> 150
10. What are the three ways that droplet sizes can be expressed? - Answer>>> Volume Median
Diameter, percentage of spray volume in droplets smaller than 150 micros, and droplet spectrum
