but wouldnt that harm biodiversity
guys. it wasnt snails. 1) it would harm biodiversity, 2) there would be other stuff going to spread it thru the grass like bugs and stuff 3) how do u even eradicate snails 4) using a herbicide will just tell snails to piss off without extincting them. therefor herbicide

what did u guys write for how would u determine it is a viral or bacterial pathogen?
I wrote one and a half for that
I wrote smth like this i dont remember the whole thing so yeah
1) Gain a sample of the contaminated water
2) Use the agar plate technique to isolate the pathogen
3) Check its features(eg if it has colonies)
4) Identify it as a virus or bacteria based on its structure

Idk if the agar plate thing 's even used for viruses cuz we only used it for bacteria
so probs losing marks but wtv

broski wouldnt the viruses die cos they cant survive outside a host

naur what herbicides get used on everything
Herbicides are chemicals used to manipulate or control undesirable vegetation. Herbicide application occurs most frequently in row-crop farming, where they are applied before or during planting to maximize crop productivity by minimizing other vegetation -- google

wait i wrote how u take a sample of water, inoculate in agar plate, wait for microbes to grow and examine it
yeah

yeah I basically did what u did except waffled but i also put the alternative of how and probs back then they couldnt isolate viruses on regular agar plates so yeah but I reckon u should be right
