Ultra-low volume concentrate (ULV) is a solution which contains almost pure active ingredient; usually used without dilution.

• A. ULV
• B. Aerosol (pressurized can)
• C. Dust (D)
• D. Flowable (F)

Answer: (A)

Ultra-low volume formulations are all about delivering a very high concentration of active ingredient in only a tiny amount of carrier. This means the product is used in very low spray volumes, often with little or no dilution, so that only a small liquid is needed to cover the target area. That emphasis on a nearly pure active ingredient in a minimal-volume solution is what distinguishes ULV from the other forms. Aerosols rely on a propellant to push the product from a pressurized can, not on delivering a near-pure active ingredient in minimal liquid. Dusts are dry powders with no liquid carrier, and flowables are suspensions where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid but aren’t nearly pure active ingredient. So the description fits ULV because it highlights the high active concentration and the very small amount of liquid used.
