What is the airborne movement of a pesticide spray, dust, particle, or vapor beyond the target area called?

Drop Spreader
Dosage
Drift
Dust

The correct answer is: Drift

The correct answer is C. Drift. Drift refers to the airborne movement of pesticide spray, dust, particles, or vapor beyond the intended target area. It is important to minimize drift to prevent contamination of non-target areas, including water sources, neighboring crops, and wildlife habitats. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: A. Drop Spreader: Drop spreaders are typically used to apply granular pesticides. They are not related to the airborne movement of pesticides. B. Dosage: Dosage refers to the amount of pesticide to be applied per unit area or volume. It is not specifically related to the airborne movement of pesticides. D. Dust: Dust is one form in which pesticides can be applied, but the term "drift" specifically refers to the movement of pesticides beyond the target area through the air.
