Which formulations are categorized under dry formulations?

Dry formulations are characterized by their lack of water and include products that are often powdery or granular in nature. The formulations categorized under dry formulations typically include soluble powders (SP), wettable powders (WP), water-dispersible granules (WDG), dry flowables (DF), and granules (G). These types of formulations are commonly used in agricultural settings as they can provide effective pest control and are often easier to store and transport compared to liquid formulations.

The inclusion of various types of dry formulations in the correct choice reflects the diversity in application methods and use cases, making them suitable for different scenarios in pest management. They also generally have a longer shelf life because they are less prone to degradation compared to their liquid counterparts.

In contrast, the other choices include formulations that either are liquid-based, such as emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and fluffy liquids (FL), or refer to products that don't fit within the dry formulation category, such as sands and emulsions, which are inherently wet. This distinction is crucial in determining the appropriate formulation based on the application needs in various contexts, further solidifying why the first choice accurately represents dry formulations.
