more finely divided than WPs, flowables generally require less agitation and
can be applied in less total liquid per acre. They seldom clog spray nozzles
and usually handle as well as ECs, although they do require larger strainers and
nozzle screens than ECs. There are fewer phytotoxicity problems with flow-
ables than with Ecs.

Dry Flowables
Dry Flowables (DF) are finely divided powders that are formulated into
concentrated, dustless granules. Dry flowables form a suspension in water and
require some agitation to maintain a uniform spray mixture. The principal
advantage of this formulation is that although it is sold in the dry form, it is
not a dust and can be handled easily. Dry flowables are not meant to be applied
