What is the main factor contributing to increased volatility of pesticides?

  1. Low temperature and calm winds

  2. High humidity levels

  3. Elevated temperatures and windy conditions

  4. Presence of rainfall

The correct answer is: Elevated temperatures and windy conditions

Increased temperature and windy conditions create an environment where pesticides are more likely to volatize and disperse into the air. Low temperature and calm winds (option A) can limit dispersion of pesticides. While high humidity levels (option B) can increase the adsorption of pesticides to soil and vegetation, it does not necessarily contribute to increased volatility. Rainfall (option D) can also limit dispersion, but it does not directly contribute to increased volatility. Therefore, option C is the main factor contributing to increased volatility of pesticides.
