How do you use Wettable Powders (W or WP)?

• A. Mixed with water and applied as a liquid spray
• B. Used as dry granules
• C. Dissolved in oil and sprayed
• D. Used as a paste on surfaces

Answer: (A)

Wettable powders are formulated to be mixed with water and sprayed as a liquid suspension. When you add the powder to water and agitate, it disperses into fine particles that stay suspended, allowing even coverage on the surfaces being treated. They aren’t used as dry granules, dissolved in oil, or applied as a paste. To use correctly, follow the label’s mixing rate, keep constant agitation to prevent clumping, and spray with appropriate nozzle settings to ensure thorough coverage.
