Question
Match the term with the correct description.
Soil
Loam
Soil horizons
Soil profile
Desertification
Organophosphates
Chlorinated hydrocarbons
Fumigants
Integrated pest management
Trap crops
Small molecules (e.g., carbon tetrachloride) which are delivered as a gas to penetrate soil or other materials
Most abundantly used synthetic pesticides
Process of converting productive land to desert
A collection of soil horizons
Soils stratified into horizontal layers
Mixture of sand, silt, and clay which is best for agriculture
Renewable resource that develops gradually through the weathering of rocks and minerals as well as organic material
A flexible, ecologically based strategy that is applied at specific times against specific pests
Small areas are planted before the main crop. These plants mature first and attract insects, and the trap crop is then destroyed along with the pests
Fast acting and highly toxic to sensitive organisms
