Pesticide Applicator Practice Test – Pass the Wisconsin Exam in 2025

A, B, and D are all types of pesticides.

To provide context, microencapsulated, soluble powder, and wettable powder are all examples of physical pesticide formulations, which are designed to be mixed with water and then applied. Microencapsulated pesticides are made up of tiny capsules that contain the active ingredient, while soluble powder pesticides are ground into a fine powder that dissolves in water. Wettable powder pesticides are a mixture of finely ground solid particles that can be suspended in water.

Surfactant, on the other hand, is not a pesticide.

A surfactant is a chemical ingredient that helps to reduce the surface tension of water, making it easier for pesticides to spread and adhere to plant surfaces. While it is commonly used alongside pesticides, it is not itself a pesticide.
