Objectives
• Participants should gain an understanding of– The components of a formulation– Advantages and disadvantages of
• Liquid formulations• Dry formulations• Fumigants
– Adjuvants

Pesticide Ingredients
• ACTIVE – responsible for killing the pest
• INERT – makes the formulation safer, more effective and easier to handle
• ADJUVANT – may or may not already be present in the product; used for the same reason as the inert ingredients

A single active ingredient may be sold in more than one formulation.

Formulation Considerations:
• Do you have the right equipment?• Can it be applied safely under the
existing conditions?• Will it reach the target and stay in
place?• Will it harm contacted surfaces?

Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC or E)
-oils dispersed in water and contain an emulsifier which allows them to be
mixed with water
![Page 11: 1 Pesticide Formulations Fred Fishel, Ph.D. Department of Agronomy University of Florida/IFAS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649da75503460f94a92c90/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Emulsifiable Concentrates
• Advantages– Versatile with many uses– Needs little, but some agitation
• Disadvantages– Readily absorbed through skin– Potential foliage burn under high temps
![Page 12: 1 Pesticide Formulations Fred Fishel, Ph.D. Department of Agronomy University of Florida/IFAS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649da75503460f94a92c90/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

product that is applied without
mixing.

Adjuvants
• Wetting agents• Emulsifiers• Spreaders• Stickers• Anti-foaming agents
• Foaming agents• Safeners• Compatibility agents• Buffers
