What is a solution in the context of pesticide formulations?

  1. A mixture of two solid active ingredients.

  2. A liquid active ingredient dissolved in a solid carrier.

  3. A liquid or dry active ingredient truly dissolved in water.

  4. A blend of two or more liquids that do not mix.

The correct answer is: A liquid or dry active ingredient truly dissolved in water.

A solution in the context of pesticide formulations refers to a liquid or dry active ingredient that is completely dissolved in water. This is the most effective form of pesticide as it allows for consistent and uniform distribution of the active ingredient. Option A is incorrect because it involves two solid ingredients, which may not mix well and lead to inconsistent distribution. Option B is incorrect because it involves only one active ingredient dissolved in a solid carrier, which may not provide enough coverage. Option D is incorrect because a blend of two or more liquids that do not mix would not make for an effective pesticide solution.
