About Formulating

The biological activity of a pesticide, be it chemical or biological in nature, is determined by its active ingredient (AI). Pesticide products very rarely consist of pure technical material. The AI is usually formulated with other materials and this is the product as sold, but it may be further diluted in use.

Formulation improves the properties of a chemical for handling, storage, application and may substantially influence effectiveness and safety.
