Which liquid pesticide formulation may contain nearly 100% active ingredient?

The ultra-low volume (ULV) pesticide formulation is designed to contain a very high concentration of active ingredients, often approaching nearly 100%. This formulation requires only a small volume of product to effectively achieve pest control due to the potency of the active ingredients. As a result, ULV pesticides are particularly effective for applications where precision and reduced application volume are crucial, such as in mosquito control and other public health pest management.

In contrast, conventional emulsions and suspension concentrates typically comprise a higher amount of inert ingredients, which help with the distribution and application of the active ingredients but considerably reduce the percentage of the active material itself. Similarly, a ready-to-use solution is generally formulated to be diluted or mixed with water before application, further lowering the concentration of active ingredients compared to ULV formulations. Thus, ULV formulations stand out for their ability to deliver high efficacy in a very concentrated form.
