Which formulations are like wettable powders but are granules; must be mixed with water to be applied; AI can be as high as 90% by weight?

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

Answer: (A)

Granular formulations that behave like wettable powders when mixed with water are water-dispersible granules and dry flowables. These are solid granules designed to break apart and form a uniform suspension in water, just like a wettable powder does. They also allow very high active ingredient loads, up to about 90% by weight, which makes them efficient for spraying with less bulk of carrier material. This combination—granule form, water compatibility, and high active content—fits the description perfectly.

Wettable powders, by contrast, are powders, not granules, so they don’t meet the “granules” criterion. Dusts are also powders and are typically used in dry form rather than dispersed in water. Emulsifiable concentrates are liquids that form emulsions in water, not solid granules, so they don’t match the granule-with-water-dispersion concept either.
