Abstract/Contents: | Defines a formulation as "a mixture of active and inert ingredients that make a pesticide more convienent to handle, safer and easier to apply." Suggests that "the selection should be based on the pest's habits, environmental and weather conditions, mode and ease of application, spray drift or runoff concerns and, in some cases, regulatory requirements." Lists several "formulations commonly used in the professional turf and ornamental market", including soluble concentrate (SL), suspension concentrate (SC), and granular bait (GB). Concludes that "advancements in formulation give...more pest treatment options as well as increasing the utility of pest control molecules and giving new life, new uses and adding value to older chemistries." |
