The amount of active ingredient in a pesticide formulation, expressed as percent or pounds per gallon, is called what?

• A. Concentration
• B. Containment system
• C. Cool-season turfgrass
• D. Contact pesticide

Answer: (A)

Concentration is the amount of active ingredient in a pesticide formulation per unit of product. It’s expressed as a percent or as pounds per gallon, and the label uses this to tell you how strong the product is and how much to mix to deliver the desired amount of active ingredient. The other terms don’t describe how much active ingredient is present: containment system isn’t a term for product strength, cool-season turfgrass is just a plant type, and a contact pesticide refers to how the product works rather than how concentrated it is.
