What term refers to the amount of active ingredient in the pesticide applied to the lawn?

• A. Concentration of end use product
• B. Rate of application
• C. Total gallons of end use product
• D. Special instruction

Answer: (A)

Concentration of the end use product explains how strong the pesticide is in the product you’re applying. It tells you the amount of active ingredient present in each unit of the product (often shown as a percentage or similar measure). When you apply product to the lawn, the actual amount of active ingredient you deliver depends on both how much product you apply and its concentration, but the label’s concentration term is the one that directly describes the active ingredient content per unit of product. The rate of application tells you how much product to put down per area, the total gallons tell you how much product you used in total, and special instructions cover safety and handling.
