What type of pesticide formulation is referred to as a 'Flowable'?

A 'Flowable' pesticide formulation refers to a specific type of pesticide product known for its ease of use and application. Flowable formulations are typically designed to be mixed with water before application, allowing them to be sprayed effectively. This formulation commonly contains solids that are finely ground and suspended in a liquid, making it convenient for handling and application in the field.

Flowable formulations are advantageous because they maintain a uniform dispersion of active ingredients, ensuring consistent application. They are particularly useful for treating large areas or for use in agricultural settings where efficient and effective application is critical. The liquid nature of these formulations means that they can be easily pumped through spray equipment, which enhances distribution and minimizes the risk of clumping or settling that could occur with other formulations.

In contrast, the other formulation types mentioned do not share these characteristics. WP (Wettable Powder) requires thorough mixing to ensure adequate dispersion, while WSP (Water-Soluble Pack) comes in packets designed to dissolve in water but may not have the same flowable properties. The designation 'D' or 'F' specifically identifies the flowable formulation, setting it apart from the others.
