Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act:The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is a United States federal law that regulates the use of pesticides. The law requires that all pesticides be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before they can be sold or distributed. FIFRA also sets standards for how pesticides can be used, and requires that labels on pesticides include information about their potential hazards.

feeder roots

Feeder Roots:Feeder roots are small roots that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. They are typically found near the surface of the ground, and their main function is to provide water and nutrients to the plant. Feeder roots are important for the health of plants, and they can be damaged by excessive tillage or compaction.

Field Border

Field Border:A field border is a strip of land that lies between the edge of a field and another area, such as a road or another field. The purpose of a field border is to separate different areas and to provide a barrier against the spread of weeds or pests.

field capacity

Field capacity is the amount of water that a soil can hold after it has been saturated and then allowed to drain freely. Field capacity is important because it determines how much water is available to plants.

Filter Strip

Filter Strip:A filter strip is a strip of vegetation that is planted around the edge of a field in order to filter runoff from the field. Filter strips are used to protect water quality by trapping sediment and other pollutants that would otherwise be carried away by runoff.
