What is a Dry Flowable (DF) / Water Dispersible Granule (WDG) formulation?

• A. A liquid emulsion designed to coat surfaces.
• B. Formulated into small pellets or granules; forms a suspension in water.
• C. A wettable powder with large particle size that settles quickly.
• D. A dust that is aerosolized.

Answer: (B)

Dry Flowable and Water Dispersible Granule products are dry pesticides that start as fine powders or small granules. When you mix them with water, they break apart and disperse to form a uniform suspension, rather than remaining as a thick paste or as a liquid. The description of being formulated into small pellets or granules that form a suspension in water captures how these formulations are handled in the tank: easy to measure, lower dust risk, and they disperse to spray evenly. The other options describe different types of formulations—liquid emulsions, wettable powders with large particles that settle, or dusty aerosols—none of which match the way DF/WDG products behave when mixed with water.
