What does adsorption refer to in the context of pesticide application?

The breakdown of pesticides
The process of inhaling pesticides
The process whereby a pesticide binds to soil particles
The process of diluting pesticides

The correct answer is: The process whereby a pesticide binds to soil particles

Adsorption in the context of pesticide application refers to the process where a pesticide binds to soil particles. This allows the pesticide to be held in the soil, reducing its movement and potential runoff. Option A, the breakdown of pesticides, is incorrect because adsorption does not involve the breakdown of pesticides but rather their attachment to soil particles. Option B, the process of inhaling pesticides, is incorrect as adsorption does not involve inhalation. Option D, the process of diluting pesticides, is also incorrect because adsorption does't involve dilution, but rather attachment to soil particles.
