Flowables or suspension concentrates characteristics: Which description is correct?

• A. Flowables are soluble in water.
• B. Flowables or suspension concentrates form suspensions not soluble in water and require moderate agitation; seldom clog nozzles.
• C. Flowables form milky suspensions and require minimal agitation.
• D. Flowables are solid granules used for soil.

Answer: (B)

Flowables and suspension concentrates are designed so the active ingredient stays as tiny solid particles dispersed in water rather than dissolving. Because they aren’t soluble, they form suspensions that can settle if not kept in motion. That’s why you need at least moderate agitation to keep a uniform mix and ensure the product sprays evenly. When mixed properly, these formulations typically pass through nozzles without frequent clogging. The other descriptions either imply dissolution, minimal mixing, or treat the product as a soilgranule type, which doesn’t fit how flowables and suspension concentrates behave.
