Which statement about Liquid Flowables (LF) is true regarding phytotoxicity?

• A. Not phytotoxic
• B. Generally non phytotoxic
• C. Highly phytotoxic
• D. Phytotoxic only to certain crops

Answer: (B)

Phytotoxicity means injury to plants caused by a pesticide. Liquid Flowables are suspensions designed for labeled crops and are formulated to minimize this kind of damage. When you follow the label—apply at the recommended rate, use compatible tank mixes, ensure good water quality, and avoid applying to crops or growth stages where the product isn’t labeled—you’re unlikely to see plant injury. That’s why the statement is generally that Liquid Flowables are non phytotoxic in normal, label-directed use. There can be exceptions: some crops may be sensitive to a specific active ingredient, or certain tank mix combinations, adjuvants, or environmental conditions can raise risk. So always check the crop-specific labeling and conditions, rather than assuming no risk in all situations.
