the Test
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.
LC-50 - ANSWER ✔✔the lethal concentration in air or water required
to kill 50% of the population.
