Abstract/Contents:"Pesticides, including insecticides, are packaged in a variety of forms. The technical grade, or 'pure' material, usually is not appropriate for use by a pesticide applicator because the concentrated material might be very toxic, insoluble on water, or unstable in the environment...Formulations are developed to make the product safer and more convenient to use." Discusses different forms of insecticides available on the market, focusing mainly on solid and sprayable formulations.
