| Comparasion for main formulations | ||
| TC | Technical material | Material to make other formulations, has high effective content, usually can not use directly, need to add adjuvants so can be dissolved with water, like emulsifying agent, wetting agent, security agent, diffusing agent, co-solvent, Synergistic agent, stabilizing agent. |
| TK | Technical concentrate | Material to make other formulations, has lower effective content compared with TC. |
| DP | Dustable powder | Generally used for dusting, not easy to be diluted by water, with larger particle size compared with WP. |
| WP | Wettable powder | Usually dilute with water, can not used for dusting, with smaller particle size compared with DP, better not use in rainy day. |
| EC | Emulsifiable concentrate | Usually dilute with water,can used for dusting, soaking seed and mixing with seed, with high permeability and good dispersity. |
| SC | Aqueous suspension concentrate | Generally can use directly, with advantages of both WP and EC. |
| SP | Water soluble powder | Usually dilute with water,better not use in rainy day. |
