CA Branch 2 Field Rep Study
Guide 100 %Accurate 2026
Falsifiable concentrates (EC or E) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Formulations made up
of the technical material, solvents and emulsifiers. Some agitation is
required. Once dry, pesticide residue is barley visible.
Wettable Powder (WP) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
,Soluble Powders (SP) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
Suspension Concentrates (SC) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
Flowable Liquids - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
Microencapsulated Formulations (ME) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
, Dusts (D) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
Granules - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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 mostly for
exterior perimeter of buildings for the control of crawling insects. Also is
water activated.
Baits - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Combination of a insecticide with an attractive
carrier/food that the target pest prefers. Pheromone attractants are added
to increase the effects. Comes in forms of gels, granules, paste, pellets,
powders or liquids.
Fumigants - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔toxic gases such as methyl bromine that are
used to kill pests.
Vitamin-K - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The antidote to consuming Anti-coagulants.
LD-50 - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the amount of a chemical that kills 50% of the
animals in a test population.
