Which formulation combines many characteristics of emulsifiable concentrates and wettable powders, with AI impregnated on a substance such as clay and ground to a very fine powder suspended in a small amount of liquid?

• A. Flowables (F)/ Liquids (L)
• B. Wettable Powders
• C. Water-dispersible Granules (WDG) or Dry Flowables (DF)
• D. Dusts

Answer: (A)

Flowables operate as a suspension of very fine solid particles in a liquid carrier. The active ingredient is first impregnated onto an inert carrier such as clay, then ground to a fine powder and suspended in a small amount of liquid to produce a pourable concentrate. This design gives you a product you can apply as a liquid spray, while the active remains as solid particles, similar to a wettable powder, which helps with stability and handling compared to loose powders. Wettable powders are simply dry powders that disperse in water and can be dusty, not premixed in a small-volume suspension. Water-dispersible granules or dry flowables are granules that must be dispersed in water to form a suspension, typically in a larger volume, not a pre-mixed small-volume suspension. Dusts are dry powders used directly as a dust and do not form a liquid suspension.
