Is it true or false that a finished pesticide product is considered a formulation?

A finished pesticide product is indeed considered a formulation because it is the final product that is ready for use, containing the active ingredients combined with other materials (inert ingredients) to enhance its effectiveness, stability, and application. Formulations are critical in determining how a pesticide behaves in the environment, its efficacy, and its safety for both users and the target organisms.

In the context of pesticides, a formulation refers specifically to the mixture of active and inactive ingredients that have been prepared in a specific manner to facilitate application and achieve the desired pest control outcome. Thus, when you have a finished pesticide product, what you are looking at is the specific formulation that has been developed to deliver the active ingredient(s) effectively.
