What is the purpose of preslaughter intervals in relation to pesticide application?

  1. Study the breakdown of chemical compounds

  2. Determine residue levels in livestock

  3. Calculate the minimum number of days before slaughter

  4. Manage emergency exemptions from registration

The correct answer is: Calculate the minimum number of days before slaughter

Preslaughter intervals are used to calculate the minimum number of days before slaughter that pesticides can be applied to crops. This is important because it ensures that any residue levels of the pesticide present in the harvested crops are within acceptable levels for consumption by livestock. Option A is incorrect because studying the breakdown of chemical compounds is not the primary purpose of preslaughter intervals. Option B is incorrect because determining residue levels in livestock is only a result of having an appropriate preslaughter interval. Option D is incorrect because the purpose of preslaughter intervals is not related to managing emergency exemptions from registration.
