What is the primary characteristic of water-dispersible granules?

The primary characteristic of water-dispersible granules is that they form a suspension when mixed with water. This means that when the granules are added to water, they do not dissolve completely, but rather disperse into small particles that remain suspended in the liquid. This property allows for an even distribution of the active ingredients when the suspension is applied, making it effective for pest control.

Water-dispersible granules are designed to provide convenient handling and storage, while also allowing for a controlled release of the active components when agitated or mixed with water. This characteristic differentiates them from other formulations, such as water-soluble granules, which would dissolve completely in water, or other types of formulations that might not interact effectively with water.

In practical terms, this means that users can prepare a spray solution that is easy to apply and ensures that the active ingredients are properly mixed for effective pest management.
