To reduce the possibility of pesticide movement, what is not recommended?

Using the highest effective rate of application is not recommended to reduce the possibility of pesticide movement. When higher concentrations of pesticides are applied, there is an increased risk that these chemicals can be transported off-site through various means, such as runoff or leaching into the groundwater. Striving for the lowest effective rate of application ensures that only the necessary amount of pesticide is used, minimizing the potential for environmental contamination and preserving the health of non-target organisms.

In contrast, employing practices like crop rotation and selecting appropriate types of pesticides can further enhance integrated pest management strategies while keeping pesticide movement to a minimum. Non-selective pesticides, while effective for certain applications, could lead to unintended consequences if not used judiciously, further emphasizing the need for careful planning and application rates.
