What is the period of time required between the final application of a pesticide and harvest?
Pre-harvest interval
Commercial Applicator
Tolerance
Pesticide Label
The correct answer is: Pre-harvest interval
The pre-harvest interval refers to the amount of time that must pass between the final application of a pesticide and the harvest of a crop. This is necessary in order to ensure that any remaining pesticide residues on the crops have time to break down to safe levels. The other options, while related to pesticides, do not directly address the specific question asked. A commercial applicator refers to a person licensed to apply pesticides, while tolerance refers to the maximum allowable amount of pesticide residue on a food product. The pesticide label provides important information about the product, but not specifically about the time required between application and harvest.
