Trunk implantation is suitable for applying large amounts of chemical.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for nutrients
• D. Only for foliar diseases

Answer: (B)

Trunk injection is a targeted, systemic delivery method that puts a small, precisely controlled amount of chemical into the tree so it moves through the vascular system to where pests feed. This approach aims to treat the tree with minimal environmental impact and without spraying large volumes into the landscape. Because the tree’s transport system has limited capacity and injecting too much can damage tissues, clog xylem, or disrupt water and nutrient flow, trunk injection is not suited for applying large amounts of chemical. It’s designed for small doses, sometimes used for certain nutrients or systemically acting pesticides, but not for bulk application.
