Which liquid pesticide formulation contains a low amount of active ingredient (1% or less)?

The ready-to-use (low-concentrate) solution is characterized by its low concentration of active ingredients, typically around 1% or less. This formulation is designed for convenience, allowing users to apply the pesticide directly without needing to further dilute it.

Such low-concentration products are particularly useful for residential consumers who may not be experienced in mixing pesticides or for applications that require a gentler approach to minimize environmental impact and reduce potential harm to non-target organisms. This is often seen in products intended for home use, where safety and ease of application are prioritized.

In contrast, microencapsulated formulations often contain higher concentrations of active ingredients encapsulated for controlled release. Ultra-low volume formulations are designed to contain a minimal volume of carrier, but may have a higher concentration of active ingredients. Aerosol solutions also tend to contain more concentrated active ingredients to enable effective delivery through the aerosol spray. Therefore, the ready-to-use solution stands out distinctly due to its low-level active ingredient concentration catering to specific user needs.
