What type of herbicide formulation consists of finely ground particles compressed into granules?

The selected answer refers to Dry Flowable (DF) formulations, which indeed consist of finely ground particles that have been compressed into granules. This formulation type allows the herbicide to be easily mixed with water for application, creating a suspension in liquid. The size and consistency of the granules enable better handling and dispersal in the environment, which can improve the efficacy of the herbicide by ensuring more uniform coverage when applied.

Granular Formulation is also a viable option and is often confused with Dry Flowable formulations. However, typical granular formulations refer to products that are usually larger granules made for slow release or extended effectiveness, while DF specifically highlights the fineness of the powder that gives it particular physical properties.

Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) and Liquid Concentrates are entirely different in terms of their composition and method of application, as they are liquid formulations that require emulsification or dilution in water to be effective. These liquid products do not contain the finely ground particles that characterize Dry Flowable formulations.
