The correct answer is: Soluble Powder

In pesticide terminology, 'SP' stands for Soluble Powder. This classification indicates a specific formulation of a pesticide that is intended to dissolve in water before application. Soluble powders are a popular choice among pesticide formulations because they typically allow for easy mixing and can be applied in various ways, such as through spraying or drip irrigation. The characteristics of soluble powders make them advantageous for effective pest management, as they can quickly dissolve and become available for uptake by plants or insects. Understanding this term is essential for applicators, as it influences how they mix and apply these products to achieve the desired effectiveness while ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
