What does the abbreviation "DF" stand for in pesticide formulations?

  1. Dry Flowable

  2. Dust

  3. Water Disposable Granule

  4. Wettable Granule

The correct answer is: Dry Flowable

The abbreviation "DF" stands for "Dry Flowable" in pesticide formulations. Dry Flowables are a type of pesticide formulation that consists of dry granules which can easily flow and mix with water to create a sprayable solution. This formulation type combines the handling convenience of granules with the application characteristics of liquid pesticides. Dry Flowables are designed to dissolve or disperse in water when mixed, allowing for uniform distribution of the active ingredient during application. This makes them popular among pesticide applicators for various agricultural and pest control tasks. Understanding this term is crucial for correctly interpreting pesticide labels and ensuring safe and effective application practices.
