Which type of pesticide formulation forms a suspension when added to water and is commonly granular?
Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC)
Dry Flowable (DF)
Emulsifying Agent
Drift Control Additive
The correct answer is: Dry Flowable (DF)
Dry Flowable (DF) is the correct answer because this type of pesticide formulation forms a suspension when added to water and is commonly granular. Dry Flowable formulations are finely ground solid particles mixed with a dispersing agent, allowing them to form a suspension when mixed with water. This type of formulation is easy to measure and handle, making it convenient for application on target areas. The other options are not correct: - Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) is a type of pesticide formulation where the active ingredient is dissolved in a liquid solvent. When added to water, it forms a stable solution rather than a suspension. - Emulsifying Agent is a substance added to a pesticide formulation to help mix immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. It is not a standalone pesticide formulation type. - Drift Control Additive is a substance added to pesticide formulations to reduce off-target movement of the product during application. It is not a standalone pesticide formulation type like Dry Flowable.
