What is the term for the reduction of pesticide activity when two or more different pesticides are mixed together?

  1. Antibiotic

  2. Algae

  3. Antagonism

  4. Algaecide (Algicide)

The correct answer is: Antagonism

When two or more pesticides are combined, the combined activity of these pesticides may decrease, this is known as antagonism. It is important to consider this when using multiple pesticides to ensure their effectiveness. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not related to pesticides. Algae is a type of plant and not a term related to pesticide activity. Algaecide or algicide is a type of pesticide specifically used to eliminate algae. While it is a type of pesticide, it is not the term for the reduction of pesticide activity caused by mixing different pesticides together.
