Washington Pesticide Laws and Safety Practice Test

What is the mixture of active and inert ingredients in a product?

1. Adjuvant formula

2. Pesticide Formulation

3. Toxic mixture

4. Phyotoxic solution

The correct answer is: Pesticide Formulation

A pesticide formulation typically consists of both active and inert ingredients. Adjuvant formula (A) is an incorrect option because adjuvants are usually added to the pesticide formulation to enhance its effectiveness, but they are not considered part of the mixture. Toxic mixture (C) is incorrect because pesticides are regulated to ensure the safety of both the user and the environment, so they should not contain toxic ingredients. Phyotoxic solution (D) is incorrect because pesticide formulations are designed to target specific pests, not to damage plants. Therefore, the best answer is B, as it accurately describes the mixture of active and inert ingredients in a pesticide product.
