What effect does a curative pesticide have on disease-causing organisms?

  1. It prevents the establishment of disease-causing organisms

  2. It eliminates disease-causing organisms before planting

  3. It inhibits the growth of disease-causing organisms

  4. It can inhibit or kill disease-causing organisms after establishment

The correct answer is: It can inhibit or kill disease-causing organisms after establishment

A curative pesticide is designed to prevent or treat diseases caused by microorganisms in plants. Unlike preventive pesticides, which are used before planting to prevent diseases, a curative pesticide can be applied either before or after the establishment of disease-causing organisms. Option A is incorrect because it does not mention the treatment aspect of a curative pesticide. Option B is incorrect because it only mentions the use of a pesticide before planting, while a curative pesticide can be used at any point. Option C is incorrect because it mentions the inhibition of growth, but a curative pesticide can also kill the disease-causing organisms. Overall, option D is the correct answer as it covers the various effects of a curative pesticide on disease-causing organisms.
