What is a soil residual pesticide?

  1. A pesticide that works only on soil

  2. A pesticide that affects organisms above soil

  3. A pesticide that eliminates specific pests in soil

  4. A chemical that prevents the growth of all organisms present in the soil; a non-selective pesticide

The correct answer is: A chemical that prevents the growth of all organisms present in the soil; a non-selective pesticide

A soil residual pesticide is a type of pesticide that, when applied to the soil, remains active for an extended period of time. It works by preventing the growth of a wide range of organisms present in the soil, including pests and beneficial organisms. This makes it a non-selective pesticide, as it does not target specific pests but instead has a broad-spectrum effect on various organisms in the soil.
