What is injection technology?

What is injection technology?

• A. A way to apply pesticides to large woody plants, including soil injection and tree injection.
• B. A technique for spraying herbicides on lawn weeds.
• C. A method for applying pesticides through fogging.
• D. A process to apply pesticides to aquatic plants only.

Answer: (A)

Injection technology means delivering pesticides directly into a plant so the chemical moves through the plant’s vascular system to protect it from pests. This is done by injecting into large woody plants, either into the trunk (tree injection) or into the surrounding soil (soil injection), to achieve systemic distribution that reaches tissues the pests feed on or inhabit. It’s especially useful when spraying isn’t practical due to plant size, drift concerns, or the need to protect interior tissues. This approach differs from spraying or fogging, and it isn’t limited to aquatic plants. Proper use depends on labeled products and correct application methods to avoid damage to the tree.
