Wyoming Pesticide Applicator Certification Practice Test

What is used to add pesticide into the tank for automated field mixing and can circulate large volumes of tank solution?

1. Drop Spreader

2. Dosage

3. Drift Control Additive

4. Eductor

The correct answer is: Eductor

The correct answer is D. Eductor. An eductor is a device used to add pesticide into the tank for automated field mixing. It is designed to circulate large volumes of tank solution efficiently, ensuring proper mixing of the pesticide with water or other carrier solutions. Eductors are commonly used in agricultural settings to streamline the mixing process and ensure uniform distribution of pesticides during application. Option A, Drop Spreader, is incorrect as it is not used for adding pesticides into the tank for mixing. Drop spreaders are typically used for applying granular materials such as fertilizers or seeds in a controlled manner. Option B, Dosage, is incorrect as it refers to the amount of pesticide or other chemical being applied per unit area. While dosage is an important consideration in pesticide application, it is not the device used to add pesticides into the tank for mixing. Option C, Drift Control Additive, is incorrect as it is a substance added to the pesticide mixture to reduce drift during application. Drift control additives help minimize the potential for off-target movement of pesticides, but they are not used specifically to add pesticides into the tank for mixing.
