IPM Chapter 6: Pesticide Formulations

Dusts usually contain a low percentage of A.I. from 0.5%-10%

The same active ingredient can be in several different pesticide formulations

Most bait formulations contain a high percentage of A.I.

The most concerning distadvantage of bait formulations is

The least toxic signal word is

Before applying a pesticide you should ask yourself

Chemicals that mix well together are said to be

EC or E refers to which pesticide formulation?

Clumping, layering, geling, and scum are evidence that chemicals are

Advantages of aerosol formulations are they are ready to use and easy to store

SP stands for what formulation

ME or MT represents which pesticide formulation?

Wait this long for accurate jar test results

Solutions have one or more A.I. dissolved in one or more of these kinds of solvents

F stands for this formulation

The component of a pesticide that controls the target pest is called the

Plants with very waxy or hairy leaves often require this in a pesticide mix

An active ingredient very toxic in one formulation may be less so so in a different formulation

EG stands for this formulation

Soluble powders come in this form

The pesticide label will tell you

One disadvantage of E.C. formulations is their ability to be easily absorbed through skin

D stands for this formulation

What is the main difference between granules and pellets?

G stands for this formulation

When emulsifiable concentrates are mixed with water they have this appearance

Fumigants are non-selective in their action

Wettable powders need to be constantly agitated in solution because they do not dissolve

The first step in any IPM program is to

S stands for which formulation?

The short hand for Aerosol formulations is

A chemical added to a pesticide formulation to improve its performance and safety is called a

Pellets are smaller than granules

Most granular formulations are used to control soilbourne pests using systemic action

Finely ground solid A.I. particles suspended in a liquid carrier make this formulation

Which product should you try first based on the signal word

Before purchasing, mixing, using, or disposing of a pesticide you must do this

The use of fumigants is generally limited to these areas:

The process you follow to check chemical compatibility is called

Mixtures of active and inert ingredients are called

Formulations which mix an active ingredient with an edible substance or attractants are called

Every pesticide has these two kinds of ingredients

Wettable powder solution inflict this kind of harm on sprayer machines

Chemicals that do not mix well together are said to be

Disadvantages of aerosol formulations include

Granular formulations come ready to use

RTU represents which pesticide formulation?

A disadvantage of E.C. formulations is the need to constantly agitate the spray mixture

Soluble Powders can contain a % of A.I. from

The most hazardous of all pesticide formulations is

The most serious risk factors with dust formulations is

Water Soluble Bags are available for a # of formulations and are useful because

Non-pesticidal ingredients in pesticides, also known as carriers are called

WP stands for which formulation?

E.C.s are formulations in which active ingredients are dissolved in one or more

A.I. stands for

The formulation that is active as gas is

Granular formulations come in liquid form

Most bait formulations have less than 5% A.I.
