What is the role of a Safener when used with a pesticide?

  1. To increase the potency of the pesticide

  2. To repel insects

  3. To reduce the harmful effects of the pesticide on plants

  4. To enhance soil fertility

The correct answer is: To reduce the harmful effects of the pesticide on plants

A safener is used in combination with a pesticide to reduce the harmful effects of the pesticide on plants. Safeners are chemicals added to pesticide formulations to selectively enhance the detoxification of the pesticide in the plant, minimizing damage to the crop while still allowing the pesticide to effectively control target pests. This helps protect the crop from potential phytotoxicity caused by the pesticide, ensuring a successful application without harming the plants.
