Which option describes a disadvantage of Flowable (F) impacting training or equipment?

• A. Easy to mix
• B. Works with all sprayer types
• C. Minimal training needed
• D. Spray mix needs constant agitation

Answer: (D)

Flowable products are suspension concentrates, meaning the active ingredients are solid particles suspended in a liquid. Those particles tend to settle if the mixture isn’t kept in motion, so the spray mix must be continuously agitated to stay uniform. If agitation stops, the solids settle to the bottom, causing changes in concentration during application, clogged nozzles, uneven droplet sizes, and potential equipment wear or damage. This requirement adds a practical disadvantage for training and equipment use: technicians must learn how to operate and maintain the tank agitator, know how long to agitate before spraying, and know how to re-suspend material if settling occurs. In contrast, the other statements describe advantages or features that don’t reflect the need for constant agitation.
