Which formulation is described as high concentration and suitable for low-pressure equipment with limited agitation?

• A. Emulsifiable concentrates
• B. Granules
• C. Wettable powder
• D. Dip

Answer: (A)

Emulsifiable concentrates are concentrated liquids that readily form an emulsion when mixed with water. Because they’re highly concentrated, you can apply a lot of active ingredient with relatively little spray water, which suits low-volume, low-pressure spray equipment. The formulation includes solvents and surfactants that help the active disperse with only light agitation, so limited stirring is often enough. Granules are solid particles meant to be spread, not sprayed; wettable powders are finely divided solids that must be kept suspended with constant agitation to prevent settling; a dip is used for immersing plant parts, not spraying.
