What type of pesticide is indicated by the abbreviation "SC"?

  1. Suspension concentrate

  2. Soluble Concentrate

  3. Soluble Powder

  4. Suspension Compound

The correct answer is: Suspension concentrate

The abbreviation "SC" refers to Suspension Concentrate, which is a formulation of pesticide where active ingredients are suspended in a liquid carrier. This type of formulation is designed to maintain a solid active ingredient in a stable suspension, which allows for easy mixing with water before application. Suspension concentrates are advantageous because they generally provide better stability and can be easier to apply than solid formulations. They are commonly used for a wide range of pest control applications, as the suspension allows for even distribution of the active ingredient when applied. This knowledge is essential for understanding pesticide formulations and their applications effectively in pest management practices.
