Agriculture Weed Control (Category 103) Practice Exam

A formulation that starts as dry particles and becomes a flowable liquid when mixed with water is Dry Flowable. This type is made by finely grinding the pesticide and coating the particles with wetting and dispersing agents so they break apart quickly in water and stay suspended, creating a uniform, pourable slurry suitable for spraying. It’s designed to be easier to flow through spray equipment and less dusty than some other dry forms. This differs from a Wettable Powder, which is also a dry powder that disperses in water, but not specifically designed to form a smooth, flowable liquid; it can be more prone to caking or uneven suspension. An Emulsifiable Concentrate is a liquid concentrate that forms an emulsion in water, not a suspension of dry solids. Granular (G) consists of larger granules that don’t readily form a true flowable suspension in water.
