What is DF formulation?
Water-Dispersible Granules (WDG) or Dry Flowables (DF) These formulations readily pour out of their containers and are are easier to measure and cleaner to handle than WPs. They too are mixed with water and applied as a spray suspension. Once in water and agitated, the granules break apart into fine powder.

What is SP in pesticides?
SL Soluble (liquid) concentrate. SP Soluble powder.
What is Dry Flowable?
Dry flowable (DF) formulations are similar to wettable powders except they are formulated as small granules that produce less dust when measured or mixed as compared to wettable powders. Dry flowable formulations are mixed with liquid materials for ap- plication.
What is dry flowable pesticide formulation?
Dry Flowables / Water-Dispersible Granules (DF or WDG) Pesticides that look like small granules, but are not ready-to-use; are mixed with water and applied as a spray. Like wettable powders, they suspend–but do not dissolve–in water. DFs & WDGs are basically WPs compressed into small, “dust-free” particles.
What is the difference between EC and EW?
An EW formulation technology creates a smaller particle size than an EC formulation. The smaller oil droplets result in more active ingredients impacting the leaf surface, which leads to improved efficacy.
What does CS mean in pesticides?
Capsule Suspension
A Capsule Suspension (CS) formulation is a combination of an active ingredient encapsulated in polymer shell suspended in water with a dispersant and wetting agent. CS formulations remain one of the most advanced formulation types for crop protection products worldwide.
