Chapter 13 - Environment
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What term is used for a species that is likely to become extinct? | Endangered species |
| What term is used for a species that is likely to become endangered? | Threatened species |
| The means and routes by which an invasive species is introduced to a new aquatic site is called the _____. | Aquatic invasive species pathway |
| Plants or animals within or adjacent to a pesticide-treated area that are not the intended targets of a pesticide application are referred to as _____. | Non-target species |
| Organisms that carry pollen from one flower to another, facilitating plant reproduction are called _____. | Pollinators |
| What is the name of the non-profit company that administers DriftWatch, BeeCheck, and FieldCheck programs? | FieldWatch |
| True or false: FieldWatch allows specialty crop producers and beekeepers to communicate, via an online map, the location of their pesticide-sensitive sites to pesticide applicators. | True |
| ______ is an endangered species of bumblebee, and the Minnesota state bee. | Rusty Patched Bumblebee |
| Approximately how much of the human food supply is made possible by the action of pollinators? | 1/3 |
| Pesticide exposure, declining habitat, limited genetic diversity, and pathogens and parasites are reasons why pollinators are _____ in population. | Declining |
| True or False: There is no overlap between areas treated for mosquitoes, black flies, and ticks, and prime pollinator habitat. | False |
| How can pollinators be directly harmed by pesticide? | Being in the path of pesticide spray or by contacting pesticides or their residue on plant surfaces |
| How can pollinators be indirectly harmed by pesticide? | Through the ingestion of pesticide residues contained in the nectar and pollen of plants treated with systemic pesticides. |
| True or False: The term “pollinators” only refers to insects such as honeybees, butterflies, and beetles that move pollen from one flower to another, but does not include native animals such as birds and bats. | False |
| _____ effects of pesticides on pollinators include impaired ability to reproduce and produce queens, impaired homing, learning, or foraging ability, reducing the immune response, and shortens the pollinator's lifespan. | Sublethal |
| True or False: Bti is fairly target-specific and has been shown to have only minimal toxicity to bees | True |
| True or False: While you should avoid ornamental flowers, landscape and fruit trees, and vegetable gardens, it is okay to spray wildflowers and weeds such as dandelions. | False |
| Why are pollinators beneficial? | They pollinate many types of crops and plants |
| Before applying pesticides, read the ____ hazards section of the label for pollinator toxicity and precautionary statements and required actions. | Environmental |
| True or false: when possible, you should choose a pesticide with the lowest toxicity to pollinators and the shortest persistence in the environment, and use the lowest application rate needed to accomplish the control required. | True |
| Will the Environmental Hazards section of the pesticide label tell you if it is toxic to bees and if there are restrictions on the use of the product when pollinators are present? | Yes |
| Another way to help protect pollinators while applying pesticides is applying them at times when bees are _____ - before dawn and after dusk, or at temps below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. | Inactive |
| Should you prevent off-site movement of pesticides? | Yes |
| True or false: leaving buffer zones between sprayed areas and pollinators and their habitats is not going to help protect pollinators. | False |
| _____ are extremely toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. | Pyrethroids |
| Should pyrethroids be applied in water or to areas where they may run off into water with aquatic life? | No |
| True or false: You need to know the endangered and threatened species in an application area. | True |
| Look for ___ Endangered Species Protection Statements on pesticide labels. | EPA |
| If the EPA Endangered Species Protection Statements are present, check to see if a bulletin exists for the _____ where pesticide will be applied. | County |
| True or False: If you become aware of an adverse incident to a federally or state-listed threatened/endangered species or its federally-designated habitat, that may have resulted from a discharge from your pesticide application, it is not your fault. | False |
| _____ water are the primary sources of drinking water for public and private water supplies, livestock production, irrigation, and industry and should be protected from pesticide contamination. | Ground and surface |
| True or False: If your treatment requires pesticide application to one or more types of surface water, you can use the same formulation as you use for the rest of your applications. | False |
| True or False: The term "invasive species" only refers to invasive insects. | False |
| True or False: Transporting invasive species from one site to another on equipment, boots, waders, or clothing is considered an aquatic invasive species pathway. | True |
| Why is it important to stop the spread of invasive species? | Invasive species can out-compete native species, many invasive insects will eat the native insects, reducing the population, and they are difficult and expensive to control once they have spread |
| True or False: Records show Minnesota is getting warmer and wetter, but we don't need to be considered about new species of mosquitoes or ticks. | False |
| You can reduce transfer to aquatic invasive species by removing any vegetation, seeds, mud, and debris ____ moving to a new site. | Before |
| To remove mud and debris from boots and equipment, use a _____ or horse hoof cleaning brush as well as clean rinse water. | Stiff brush |
| Don't transport water from one _____ site to another. | Wetland |
| Don't use waders or boots with _____ bottoms unless you can dry them out completely between sites. | Felt |
| Preventing surface and ground water contamination begins with determining if an application site has sandy soils, wells or cisterns, streams, ponds, or _____ groundwater. | Shallow |
| True or false: you should avoid pesticide applications in areas with sandy soils, wells or cisterns, streams, ponds, or shallow groundwater if possible or select products and application methods that reduce drift risk. | True |
| Should you store or mix pesticides, or clean spray equipment around wells or sinkholes? | No |
| True or false: It is okay to discharge water from a spray tank into a street, along a road, or into a storm drain intentionally. | False |
