What is the description of Particle Drift in pesticide application?

  1. A particle of solid or liquid matter.

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

  3. The mass of filaments that forms the body of a fungus.

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

The correct answer is: The airborne movement of particles such as pesticide dusts and pesticide contaminated soil from the application site.

Particle drift in pesticide application refers to the airborne movement of particles, such as pesticide dusts and pesticide-contaminated soil, from the application site. This movement can occur due to factors like wind or equipment used during application. It is crucial to minimize particle drift to prevent unintended exposure of non-target areas or organisms to pesticides. Options A, B, and C are not correct as they do not accurately describe particle drift in pesticide application.
