the pesticide to stay on a surface that is not level such as
foliage?
Answer- granular formulation would be the best choice in the
first situation because granules have a much lower drift hazard
than wet table powders. Granules do not stick to non-level
surfaces so the wet table powder would be the best choice in the
second situation.

emulsifiable concentrate for a particular pest control task which
would be better if you were concerned about harming the treated
surface? Which would be best if you were diluting with very
hard or alkaline water?

first situation because emulsifiable concentrates are corrosive
