The label "VIPNO Pest 75 WP" indicates what about the product's formulation?

• A. It is a wettable powder formulation containing 75 percent active ingredient
• B. It is a dust formulation with 75 percent inert filler
• C. It is a granule with 75 percent active ingredient
• D. It is a solution with 75 percent water

Answer: (A)

Understanding pesticide formulation labels helps you know how to apply the product. WP stands for Wettable Powder, a dry formulation that disperses in water to form a sprayable suspension. The number before WP, 75 in this case, means 75 percent of the product’s weight is the active ingredient; the remaining 25 percent is inert filler and other additives that aid mixing and stability. So VIPNO Pest 75 WP is a wettable powder formulation containing 75 percent active ingredient. It’s not a dust, granule, or solution, which would use different suffixes. When using it, you mix the powder with water and shake or stir to create a uniform suspension for application.
