Which formulation must be agitated continuously during application?

Water-dispersible granules (WDG) must be agitated continuously during application to ensure that the granules remain evenly suspended in the liquid. This type of formulation is designed to dissolve in water but can easily settle to the bottom of the tank if left undisturbed. Continuous agitation prevents the formation of clumps and maintains a uniform distribution of the active ingredient in the spray mixture, promoting effective and consistent application.

When dealing with other formulations, such as granular formulations, they typically do not require agitation in the same manner, as they remain stable in a solid state and do not need to be mixed in a liquid medium. Liquid concentrates and emulsifiable concentrates may require some mixing before application, but they do not necessitate continuous agitation since they tend to remain well mixed after initial preparation.
