What is the area under quarantine for the sweet potato weevil?

  1. All states and districts of the US

  2. All states and districts of the US except Arizona

  3. All states and districts of the US except Nevada and Hawaii

  4. All states and districts of the US east of and including North Dakota and South Dakota

The correct answer is: All states and districts of the US except Arizona

The area under quarantine for the sweet potato weevil is indeed described as all states and districts of the US except Arizona. This is due to Arizona's established pest management and prevention protocols that have effectively managed the sweet potato weevil, allowing it to be classified as a non-infested region. This quarantine is put in place to prevent the spread of the sweet potato weevil, which is a significant pest that affects sweet potatoes and can cause severe economic damage. Recognizing areas that are free from this pest helps in managing agricultural health and preventing outbreaks in unaffected areas. The identification of other states in the incorrect options reflects a broader or narrower quarantine scope that doesn't match the established regulations regarding the sweet potato weevil's presence in those regions. Thus, they do not align with current pest management practices defined by agricultural authorities.
