The following standard codes are used. For further details, see Catalogue of Pesticide Formulation Types and International Coding System, Technical monograph No. 2, 5th Edition, March 2002; CropLife International, Brussels. Detailed descriptions of each formulation type are given in the monograph, for convenience they have been classified into 7 major use groupings, as follows:
