Which term describes chemicals that do not possess pesticidal activity in a pesticide formulation?

Inert Ingredients
Inoculum
Inhalation Toxicity
Structural pests

The correct answer is: Inert Ingredients

In the context of pesticide formulations, the term "inert ingredients" refers to chemicals that do not possess pesticidal activity. These ingredients are often added to improve the performance, stability, or appearance of the pesticide product. Inert ingredients play a crucial role in the overall effectiveness of the pesticide by facilitating the application process, enhancing the formulation's properties, or improving the ability of the active ingredients to reach the target pest. On the other hand: - "Inoculum" refers to the introduction of a disease-causing agent into a host organism. - "Inhalation Toxicity" is the potential of a substance to cause harm when inhaled. - "Structural pests" are pests that cause damage to structures such as buildings or homes.
