Which statement is true regarding the formulation of pesticides?

Liquid formulations of pesticides require specific types of sprayers because they are designed to be applied in a diluted form and may have particular physical and chemical properties that influence how they should be delivered. Different liquid formulations have various viscosities and densities which can impact how well they atomize or how they flow through the sprayer. Additionally, certain sprayers are equipped with specific nozzles and pressure settings that optimize the application of liquid pesticides, ensuring that they are adequately dispersed while minimizing drift and ensuring effectiveness.

In contrast, other formulations may not have the same requirements for application equipment. For example, solid formulations like granules or powders may be applied using different methods that don’t involve liquid sprayers. The compatibility of the formulation with the sprayer is critical to achieving proper coverage and efficacy, making the specification of equipment essential for liquid formulations.
