The term for the combination of an active ingredient with other ingredients is?

• A. Formulation
• B. Dilution
• C. Suspension
• D. Emulsion

Answer: (A)

Formulation is the term for the combination of an active ingredient with other ingredients to create a usable pesticidal product. The active ingredient provides the pest-killing action, while carriers, solvents, surfactants, adjuvants, and stabilizers are added to help deliver, spread, and stabilize the product for effective use. The label describes the formulation because it determines how the product is mixed and applied. Dilution means adding solvent to lower the active concentration for use; a suspension is a form where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid; an emulsion is droplets of one liquid dispersed in another.
