A substance is dissolved in a liquid such as salt in seawater
Solution
The type of name that is used by industry professionals when referring to a pesticide product
Trade Name
We have no other options! This form of pesticide is usually used as a last resort
Fumigants
Phytotoxicity
You can use this formulation right away!
Ready-to-Use
Pass the dressing please! But, make sure its shaken first.
Emulsion
This type of pesticide will kill either broadleaf weeds or grasses/sedges
Narrow Spectrum / Selective Herbicides
It's not just rabbit feed! These uniform pesticides are all the same shape, size, and weight
Pellets
Products don't mix well and don't stay mixed causing physical separation and clumping which can damage sprayer equipment
Could be easily confused for Wettable Powders, except this formulation completely dissolves and does not require agitation
Soluble Powders
Make a bad decision at school and you'll be on this type of mixture
Suspension
Bullseye: Also the name of a major retailor, this refers to the pest we are intending to treat with pesticides
Target Pest
Don't confuse these pesticides for Nerds candy. All different sizes makes it hard to calibrate equipment
Granules
This is where we will find out what ingredients our pesticide can't be mixed with
The pesticide label or SDS
Care for a drink Remy? This form of pesticide is effective where water is scarce and food supply is high
Liquid Rodenticide
Round and round we go! This is required to keep emulsions and suspensions thoroughly mixed
Agitation
This refers to HOW a pesticide will control a pest
Mode of Action
You will need a swifter to clean up this very fine dry formulation
Dust
Mixing baking soda an vinegar together.... it just ain't working
Chemical Incompatibility I
Wettable Powders
The inactive portion of a pesticide that helps you apply a pesticide. Our pesticides can never be 100% of the active ingredient.
Carrier
The second step of control when we are trying to control an invasive species
Mitigation
Manufacturers cover dry (or liquid) pesticide particles in a plastic coating that dissolves over time. The degredation can be caused by UV exposure, Water, Heat, and pH
Microencapsulated Materials
These pesticides are wildin' out! When mixed together they are doing the too much
Chemical Incompatibility II
This formulation is almost like Oobleck. A powder is mixed into a carrier, created a thick slurry.
