Question Title

* 3. Using bin run or common seed

Maintains the integrity of the genetic purity of the seed source.

Is the best strategy to maximize return on investment

Leads to an increase in seed borne pathogens; like Ascochyta

Is the best choice for the export mark

Question Title

* 4. Under Organic Production - Preparation for harvest begins with

Rolling at seeding or shortly after emergence of the crop.

Using the proper desiccant that is approved for organic production

Swathing the crop at the proper moisture content.

Cutting into the lodged fields.

Question Title

* 5. With regards to pulse harvest, bleach is

The only chemical licensed for weed control in organic production

The only chemical licensed for desiccation in organic production

A defect of caused by harvesting immature yellow peas.

A defect of yellow peas in a green pea field

Question Title

* 6. The use of Round Up (glyphosate) as a desiccant is:

Best used when weed pressure from kochia, Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce is severe.

best used one week prior to harvest is temperature and humidity are under the 150 rule.

Should not be used in combination with a surfactant when the temperature exceeds 80 mid day.

Should not be used as a desiccant for export, domestic or any other market nor when the harvested crop is to be used for a commercial seed source.

Question Title

* 7. When preparing to harvest a field of pulses with your new combine.

Train the combine operator in the proper adjustment and operation of the combine to assure a properly harvested crop
