Soil incorporation involves which of the following?

• A. Application to the soil followed by tillage to mix the pesticide with the soil
• B. Immersion of a plant
• C. Aiming at a portion of a plant
• D. Spot treatment on a small area

Answer: (A)

Soil incorporation means applying the pesticide to the soil and then tilling to mix the chemical throughout the soil. This places the active ingredient into the soil profile, near roots or soil-dwelling pests, and helps distribute it evenly while reducing surface runoff and drift. Immersion of a plant refers to soaking plant tissue, which is not about mixing with soil. Aiming at a portion of a plant describes a directed application to a specific plant part, not an introduction into the soil. Spot treatment on a small area targets a tiny surface area rather than mixing the chemical with the soil.
