Different commercial pesticides formulations.

Different pesticides formulations Description References
Granules Pesticide-containing tiny pellets or granules make up granular formulations. Usually, they are dispersed across the target. [[61], [62], [63],[65], [66], [67]]
Wettable Powders These pesticide particles are finely powdered and combined with innocuous substances. Before applying, they are meant to be combined with water to create a suspension. They are renowned for their stability and extended shelf life.
Soluble Powders Soluble powders are like to wettable powders but are framed to dissolve completely in water.
Liquid concentrates Usually, these compositions are applied after being diluted with water. Frequently, they are emulsifiable concentrations.
Dusts They are usually applied by means of a dust applicator. Dust formulations are normally used in regions with low moisture or anywhere liquid uses are not possible
Baits Baits are formulated (gels, solid blocks, pastes) to attract insects like ants, cockroaches and rodents
Aerosols: Aerosol formulations are compressed containers that emit a fine spray in order to control flying insects
Microencapsulated Microencapsulated pesticides are little capsules that enclose the active component. They deliver controlled release and can adhere to surfaces for extended efficiency
Baits Baits are designed to draw pests and contain the active component insecticide. They are frequently used to control insects such as ants, cockroaches, and rodents. Baits can come as gels, pastes, or solid blocks
Nano-based Pesticide Formulation Through controlled release mechanisms, the development of nano-based pesticide formulation attempts to precisely deliver the adequate quantity of the active components
