Certified Pesticide Applicator Exam

Question 1

An applicator is calibrating a boom sprayer. After collecting the output from several nozzles for one minute, they find that one nozzle's output is 15% higher than the average of the other nozzles. What is the most appropriate action to take?

Increase the sprayer pressure to compensate for the higher output. Replace the nozzle because its output is significantly outside the acceptable range. Slightly decrease the travel speed to ensure adequate coverage. Mark the nozzle and continue spraying, but overlap more in that nozzle's spray area.

Correct Answer:

Replace the nozzle because its output is significantly outside the acceptable range.

Question 2

Which of the following changes to sprayer setup would be most effective in reducing pesticide drift?

Increasing the boom height above the target crop. Using nozzles that produce smaller, finer droplets. Increasing the sprayer pressure significantly. Switching to low-drift nozzles, such as air-induction types.

Correct Answer:

Switching to low-drift nozzles, such as air-induction types.

Question 3

An applicator needs to spray a rectangular field that is 1,200 feet long and 500 feet wide. The calibrated sprayer applies 20 gallons per acre (GPA). How many total gallons of spray mixture are needed to treat the entire field? (43,560 sq. ft. = 1 acre)

344 gallons 600 gallons 275 gallons 459 gallons

Correct Answer:

275 gallons

Question 4

During a pre-application equipment check, you discover a small leak in a hose connection. What is the correct immediate action?

Wrap the connection with duct tape as a temporary fix and proceed with the application. Note the leak's location and continue with the application, planning to fix it later. Stop and repair the leak by tightening the connection or replacing the faulty part before any application begins. Reduce the system pressure to minimize the leak and complete the job quickly.

Correct Answer:

Stop and repair the leak by tightening the connection or replacing the faulty part before any application begins.

Question 5

To double the flow rate of a sprayer by only adjusting the pressure, the pressure must be:

Doubled (increased by 2 times). Tripled (increased by 3 times). Quadrupled (increased by 4 times). Halved (decreased by half).

Correct Answer:

Quadrupled (increased by 4 times).
