Wyoming Pesticide Applicator Practice Test 2026 – Complete Exam Prep

A drop spreader is a type of equipment that has an adjustable sliding gate allowing granules to flow out for granular pesticide application by gravity feed. Drop spreaders are commonly used to apply granular pesticides evenly over a specific area such as lawns or garden beds. This type of equipment is preferred when precise application is necessary, as the sliding gate can be adjusted to control the rate at which the granules are released.

On the other hand, the other options:

A. Eductor - An eductor is a device used to mix pesticides with water during the application process.

B. Dust - Dust applicators are used to apply dry formulations of pesticides in powder form.

C. Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) - Emulsifiable concentrates are liquid formulations of pesticides that need to be mixed with water before application, typically using a sprayer.

These options do not describe the equipment with an adjustable sliding gate for granular pesticide application as the drop spreader does.
