Which term is used for a pest control product that can inhibit or kill a disease-causing organism after it is established in a plant or animal?

  1. Curative Pesticide

  2. Defoaming agent

  3. Deposit

  4. Danger

The correct answer is: Curative Pesticide

A curative pesticide is used to inhibit or kill a disease-causing organism after it is already established in a plant or animal. This type of pesticide is applied once the pest or disease is already present, as opposed to preventive pesticides which are applied before an issue occurs. Regarding the other options: - Defoaming agent: This is not related to pesticides but is used to reduce foaming in pesticide spray tanks. - Deposit: In the context of pesticides, deposit refers to the amount of pesticide that remains on the target surface after application. - Danger: This term does not specifically relate to the function or type of pesticide.
