What is a "vector" in the context of pesticide applications?

An indicator of the toxicity of a pesticide
A tool used for pesticide mixing
An animal or plant transmitting a pathogen from host to host
A measurement unit for pesticide concentrations

The correct answer is: An animal or plant transmitting a pathogen from host to host

In the context of pesticide applications, a "vector" refers to an animal or plant that can transmit a pathogen from one host to another. Vectors play a crucial role in the spread of diseases among plants or animals. This term is commonly used in integrated pest management strategies to understand and control the transmission of pathogens by these vectors. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: - Option A, "An indicator of the toxicity of a pesticide," does not accurately define a vector. - Option B, "A tool used for pesticide mixing," is not the correct definition of a vector in this context. - Option D, "A measurement unit for pesticide concentrations," is not the definition of a vector but rather a different concept related to pesticide concentration levels.
