Why are "inert ingredients" included in pesticide formulations?

  1. For enhanced pesticide potency

  2. For immediate effect on pests

  3. Because active ingredients are often not suitable for application

  4. To reduce the volume of the pesticide

The correct answer is: Because active ingredients are often not suitable for application

Inert ingredients are commonly used in pesticide formulations because they serve a specific purpose that the active ingredient may not be able to fulfill on its own. These ingredients may help with dispersing, emulsifying, or stabilizing the active ingredient in the product. Additionally, they can make the pesticide safer and easier to handle, transport, and apply. Option A is incorrect because inert ingredients do not enhance potency, they only aid in the efficacy of the active ingredient. Option B is incorrect because inert ingredients do not have an immediate effect on pests, they simply carry and support the active ingredient. Option D is incorrect because inert ingredients are not used to reduce the volume of the pesticide, they are necessary for the proper functioning of the product.
