Nehemiah · Answer 1

I believe the answer is: before/after rain

Rain would create water flow that could even move bigger molecules from one place to another in the environment.

Because of this, applying pesticide before/after rain would most likely spread the substance to other area and could destroy the balance in the ecosystem.
