1
, Quiz_________________?
Falsifiable concentrates (EC or E) -
jibu☑️
Formulations made up of the technical material, solvents and
emulsifiers. Some agitation is required. Once dry, pesticide
residue is barley visible.
Quiz_________________?
Wettable Powder (WP) -
jibu☑️
These formulations are made by impregnating or coating an
appropriate powder with the technical insecticide. Wettable
Powders do not dissolve in water and frequent agitation is usually
required. Heavy applications may leave visible deposits.
Quiz_________________?
Soluble Powders (SP) -
jibu☑️
2
, May look like Wettable Powders but they dissolve and form true
solutions when dilute with water. Less visible than Wettable
Powders after drying, Frequent agitation is not required.
Quiz_________________?
Suspension Concentrates (SC) -
jibu☑️
Products made with small particles suspended in oil solvents or
water. Easy mix, require little or no agitation and remain stable for
a long time. Have a greatly reduced inhalation hazard because
they come in a liquid form.
Quiz_________________?
Flowable Liquids -
jibu☑️
Contains concentrated water dispersible powders in a liquid form.
These powders may stay suspended for a long time. Flowable
liquids are easy to handle and have excellent dilution properties.
Quiz_________________?
3
, Microencapsulated Formulations (ME) -
jibu☑️
manufactured by suspending liquid or solid pesticide particles in
microcapsules. By altering the membrane of the microcapsules,
the residual performance, speed and action and odor can be
affected. May clog sprayers and leave visible residue.
Quiz_________________?
Dusts (D) -
jibu☑️
Made by combining and insecticide with a dust diluent (usually
inert) Some products such as Boric Acid Dusts, are almost totally
comprised of Boric Acid and may have small amounts of other
ingredients added. Drifts are a major issue.
Quiz_________________?
Granules -
jibu☑️
Made by coating or impregnating an inert carrier with an
insecticide. Made of materials, such as, clay, corn cobs, pecan
shells, saw dust, etc. Formulations are ready to use and used
