What does a persistent pesticide refer to?

  1. The downward movement of water through soil

  2. A pesticide that remains active in the environment more than one growing season

  3. Devices and apparel worn to protect the body from contact with pesticides

  4. A plant that lives for more than two years

The correct answer is: A pesticide that remains active in the environment more than one growing season

A persistent pesticide refers to a type of pesticide that stays active in the environment for longer than one growing season. This means that it does not break down or dissipate easily, and can remain in the environment for extended periods of time, potentially causing harm to non-target species and ecosystems. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe persistent pesticides and therefore are incorrect choices.
