The questions and corresponding answers may or may not appear on the exam you will be given. The actual test is only 50 questions.  \nReview these questions in addition to the General Standards Exam study guide.  \n1. Why are plant growth regulators used in right of ways?  \nTo maintain desired height of turf around guardrails.  \n2. What type of herbicide is used for total vegetation control (TVC) used around guardrails?  \nResidual, nonselective herbicides.  \n3. What is girdling? P 15  \nCutting a grove or notch into the trunk of a tree to interrupt the flow of sap between roots and crown. Can be done by cutting a ring around a woody plant through the bark and sapwood (cambium).  \n4. What is grubbing? P 15  \nUprooting plants by pulling or digging.  \n5. Why are growth regulators used instead of herbicide in some areas? P 15  \nThey are used to slow vegetation growth in areas where brownouts from herbicides are unacceptable. Such as along steep slopes and cemeteries.  \n6. What growth regulators are used typically and why? P 15  \nMaleic hyrazide, mefluidide, and flurprimidal. These compounds are used in areas where brownout from herbicides are unacceptable.  \n7. How do photosynthetic inhibitor herbicides work? P 17  \nThey translocate in the xylem from the roots to the older leaves.  \n8. What are meristematic tissues? P 19  \nThe growing points of plants.  \n9. Why are ACCase inhibitors ( lipid biosynthesis inhibitors used)? P 19  \nThey selectively control grass but broadleaf plants are unaffected by them.  \n10. How are dinitroanilines used to control annual grasses and small-seeded broadleaf plants? P 19  \nThey are soil applied  \n11. How do herbicide-resistant weeds develop? P 20  \nHerbicide controls the majority of plants and only those that possess a resistant trait can survive and produce seed for future generations (natural selection).  \n12. What are the two mechanisms that allow plants to become herbicide resistant? P 20  \nThe target site is somewhat altered and the herbicide molecule cannot exert toxin.  \nThe weed is able to metabolize the herbicide or make it inactive.  \n13. What is frilling? P 24  \nSeries of downward angled cuts make completely around the tree, leaving partially severed bark and wood attached at the bottom. It is typically performed with a hatchet or axe.  \n14. What steps can be taken to minimize herbicide resistant weeds? P 21  \na. Scout regularly to identify resistant weeds  \nb. Rotate herbicides with different sites of action  \nc. Apply herbicides with multiple sites of action  \nd. Combine mechanical and non-chemical control practices  \ne. Clean equipment before moving from infested areas with resistant weeds to non infested areas.  \nf. All of the above  \n15. What is herbicidal activity? P 23  \nWhen a particular herbicide binds to a target site within the plant and exerts a lethal effect.  \n16. What are the different ways that herbicides can be applied to plants? P 23  \nOnto leaves (foliar treatment) or onto stem or trunk (frill, girdle, basal-bark or cutsurface treatment.  \n17. What are the methods of killing standing trees without herbicide? P 24  \nFrilling and girdling.  \n18. How is basal bark treatments performed? P 25  \nHerbicide is sprayed on small trees and shrubs on the lower 12-18 inches of bark.  \nIt is most effective on trees smaller than 4-6 inches in diameter.  \n19. How are soil treatments (basal soil) herbicides used? P 27  \nThey are applied within the dripline of target species so that herbicide can move by rainfall into the root zone.  \n20. Why are soil treatment herbicides not used in many areas? P 27  \nThey are quite persistent and mobile in water, so can they run off and leech into surface or underground water sources.  \n21. When is the greatest potential for spray drift? P 28  \nWhen wind velocity is greater than 10 miles an hour or when the wind is blowing toward sensitive plant","cbCaish9VOGp6z7X","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaish9VOGp6z7X","pdf",43809,"English","# Review Questions\n## Herbicides, growth regulators, and vegetation control\n## Herbicide resistance and prevention\n## Herbicide application methods and equipment\n## Sprayers, injections, and safety considerations","[{\"question\":\"Why are plant growth regulators used in rights of way?\",\"answer\":\"They are used to maintain the desired height of turf around guardrails.\"},{\"question\":\"What are two ways plants become herbicide resistant?\",\"answer\":\"Resistance can occur when the target site is altered so the herbicide cannot exert its toxin, or when the weed can metabolize the herbicide or make it inactive.\"},{\"question\":\"When should low volume sprays not be applied?\",\"answer\":\"Avoid applying them during periods of high temperature or low humidity, because droplets evaporate more easily.\"}]","Rights of Way - Applicator Exam Review Questions - 2011 Aug 17 2018 | PDF",1790328341,18]
