INCORRECT

Answer D: All of the above

Pest resistance is a condition where pests become able to resist pesticides (change in the pest population sensitivity to a pesticide), which result in the failure of a correct application of the pesticide to control the pest. Improper use of pesticides can result in selection pressure and development of resistance to a pesticide. Pest resistance is costly for the farm, as pest control is more difficult. Weather conditions such as wind, precipitation and air temperature influence the efficiency of spray applications and the potential for loss by runoff and drift. Pesticide labels give specifications on the optimal weather conditions, drying time, absorption rate and retention time.
