How would you determine if the pesticide you are using is prone to volatilization?

  1. 1. Check the label, often indicates

  2. 2. Consult local authorities

  3. 3. Observe weather patterns

  4. 4. Perform a field test

The correct answer is: 1. Check the label, often indicates

To determine if a pesticide is prone to volatilization, or the process of changing from a liquid or solid into a gas or vapor, you should check the label. This is because pesticide manufacturers often include information about volatility rates on their labels. Although choices B, C, and D may provide helpful information, they do not specifically address the volatilization of pesticides. Consulting local authorities may give you general information about pesticide use, observing weather patterns may give you an idea of the conditions under which volatilization is more likely to occur, and performing a field test may tell you if the pesticide is effective, but only checking the label will directly address the volatility of the pesticide.
