How is a Slurry defined in the context of pesticide application?

  1. A particle of solid or liquid matter.

  2. A thick suspension of a pesticide made from a wettable powder and water.

  3. A substance or agent able to cause genetic changes in living cells.

  4. The airborne movement of particles such as pesticide dusts and pesticide contaminated soil from the application site.

The correct answer is: A thick suspension of a pesticide made from a wettable powder and water.

In the context of pesticide application, a slurry is defined as a thick suspension of a pesticide made from a wettable powder and water. This mixture forms a uniform solution that is easier to apply and ensures even distribution of the pesticide over the target area. Option A (A particle of solid or liquid matter) does not accurately define a slurry; option C (A substance or agent able to cause genetic changes in living cells) describes a mutagen, not a slurry; and option D (The airborne movement of particles such as pesticide dusts and pesticide contaminated soil from the application site) refers to pesticide drift, not a slurry.
