bond paper. Must be encoded. Take a photo and send to our google classroom.

1. Describe the difference between unclassified-use and restricted-use pesticides (RUPs)

Answer- "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 while unclassified have
no designation on the product label

2. Explain why EPA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration establish pesticide
tolerance levels for food and feed.

Answer- cause they are esponsible for regulating the amount of pesticide residue that
may remain in or on food and animal feed and also monitored not only for compliance
with pesticide tolerances, but also for potential contamination by aflatoxin, salmonella,
and other microbiological contaminants.

3. Identify four violations of FIFRA that may result in civil or criminal penalties.

Answer-1. Selling a restricted use pesticide to a person not certified to purchase such
products

2Using a pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling

3.selling a pesticide that is not registered for use in Montana or for which the
registration was cancelled or suspended

4. Failure to keep required records or to allow the inspection, copying or sampling

4. Identify three things that employers must provide for agricultural employees using pesticides
to comply with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS)

Answer- Product name,
EPA registration number and active ingredients.
Location and description of the treated area.
5. Discuss how keeping adequate records of all pesticide applications can benefit the pesticide
applicator.

Answer – cause this document can help them cover the application of pesticides using any ...

are be kept up to date with new methodology to help ensuring that pesticides are The
selection of appropriate and suitable spray equipment is essential safe and Effective health
monitoring records will be able to provide early warnings.

6. Describe the process of becoming a certified private pesticide applicator.

Answer- A private applicator must become certified by the CAC or the Director in any county

in which there is no CAC. Certification is accomplished through a written examination

process designed to evaluate the knowledge and abilities of a private applicator.

Each applicant must complete the Private Applicator Certificate Application form (PR-PML-

045) prior to taking the examination. There is no fee for taking the Private Applicator

Certificate (PAC) examination, obtaining the PAC card, or renewing the PAC card

(recertification).

To become certified, a private applicator must demonstrate competency to use and

supervise the use of restricted use pesticides and restricted materials properly and safely, by

passing the written examination with a minimum score of 70%. Private applicators that pass

the examination receive a DPR PAC card issued by CAC staff.

7. Identify whom applicators must notify in case of a pesticide accident, such as a spill or

leak.

Answer- Certified Pesticide Applicators

8. Define ‘’pesticide incident’’.

Answer- an exposure or effect from a pesticide's use that is not expected or intended that

may harm or involve any living things.

9. Explain the difference between the pesticide label and pesticide labeling.

Answer- The label is the information printed on or attached to the pesticide

container. Labeling includes the label itself, plus all other information you receive

from the manufacturer about the product when you buy it.
10. List two reasons why the EPA registration number is placed on a product label.
Answer- 1. The EPA Registration Number indicates which company holds the registration for the
pesticide product, and in which sequence the product was submitted to EPA by the company.

2.and Before a pesticide product is registered under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), it is assigned an EPA file symbol which is comprised of the company
number followed by a series of letters representing the potential product number.

11. List at least three reasons why reading a pesticide label is important to the
pesticide applicator.
Answer-
1. cause It is illegal to use a pesticide in any way not permitted by the labeling
2. A pesticide may be used only on the plants, animals, or sites named in the directions
for use
3. You may not use higher dosages, higher concentrations, or more frequent
applications.

12.Compare and contrast pesticide trade, common, and chemical

names.

Answer- the chemical name is a complex name that identifies the

chemical components and structure of the pesticide. A common name is

a shorter name that EPA recognizes as a substitute for the chemical

name of a product.

13. List and define pesticide label ‘’signal words’’.

Answer- Caution" indicates that the 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 the skull and crossbones indicates that the pesticide

product is highly toxic as a poison, rather than as a skin or eye irritant.

14. Describe where you should look on a pesticide label to find out what to do if a pesticide
gets on the skin, in the eyes, is swallowed, or inhaled.
15. Describe the steps in checking the nozzle pattern and flow rate.
Answer- Extended-range flat-fan nozzles vary the droplet size and flow rate by alternating
pressures. It holds its pattern at a low pressure (15 psi), ensuring uniform coverage along the
boom. Extended-range flat-fan nozzles are available in both 80 and 110 degree fan angles. For
soil applications, the recommended pressure range is from 10 to 30 psi. Smaller drops are
produced at pressures from 30 to 60 psi, increasing the likelihood of drift. High pressures
should be used only to apply foliar pesticides that must penetrate into the plant canopy or that
require maximum coverage. Spray drift is a major concern at pressures above 40 psi.

16. Explain how to calculate the area of a rectangle, triangle and circle.

Answer- To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. ... Think about the
building as two shapes, a rectangle and a triangle. ... In order to calculate the area of
a circle you need to know its diameter or radius.

17. List the safety precautions for cleaning application equipment to protect the application
and protect the environment.

Answer- Cleaning with products containing soap or detergent reduces germs on surfaces by
removing contaminants and may also weaken or damage some of the virus particles, which
decreases risk of infection from surfaces. Cause Disinfecting ills any remaining germs on
surfaces, which further reduces any risk of spreading infection.
