What term describes a characteristic of some organisms that are uninjured or unaffected by a certain dosage of pesticide chemical used to successfully control other populations of the same organism?

Pressure Rinse
Protectant
Preplant Pesticide
Resistant

The correct answer is: Resistant

Some organisms have developed resistance to certain pesticides, meaning that they are not affected by the pesticide at the dosage that typically controls other populations of the same organism. This resistance can be due to genetic factors or repeated exposure to the pesticide over time, leading to the development of resistance traits within the population. In agricultural practices, it is important to be aware of pesticide resistance in order to effectively manage pest populations and minimize potential damage to crops.
