What is the significance of an encapsulated pesticide formulation?

  1. A method to eliminate established pests using chemical agents

  2. A formulation to prolong the effectiveness of materials

  3. A pesticide population resistant to related chemicals

  4. A pest management strategy for eliminating all members of a pest population

The correct answer is: A formulation to prolong the effectiveness of materials

Encapsulated pesticide formulations have a slow-release mechanism that helps prolong the effectiveness of the pesticide. Option A is incorrect because it refers to eliminating established pests, but this could also be achieved with other pesticide formulations. Option C is incorrect because resistance to related chemicals is not necessarily a factor in encapsulation. Option D is also incorrect because encapsulation does not necessarily eliminate all members of a pest population, but rather controls their population.
