Question: 1 / 605

What does residue refer to in the context of pesticides?

The pesticide movement in air due to wind

The remaining pesticide in the environment after an application

Residue refers to the remaining pesticide in the environment after an application. This means that the pesticide has not been completely absorbed or broken down and can still potentially have an impact on the surrounding area. Option A is incorrect because wind can affect the movement of pesticides, but residue specifically refers to the remaining chemical. Option C is incorrect because while sunlight can aid in the breakdown of pesticides, residue refers to the remaining amount of chemical and not the breakdown process. Option D is incorrect because the breakdown process referred to in the context of residue must involve living organisms.
