What is a Water-Soluble Packet used for?

A Water-Soluble Packet is specifically designed to hold pesticides, usually in the form of wettable or soluble powders, that are intended to dissolve in water before application. This packaging is advantageous because it allows for convenience in measuring and reduces the risk of exposure to the chemicals while mixing. Once the packet is placed in water, it dissolves, releasing the pesticide into the solution, which can then be applied as intended.

The option that discusses creating a suspension when mixed with oil does not align with the function of a water-soluble packet, as these packets are meant for mixing with water rather than oil. The choice regarding packaging solid pesticides that do not dissolve does not relate to the intended use of water-soluble packets, since they are designed for materials that do dissolve in water. Lastly, storing pesticides that are not intended for dilution does not reflect the actual purpose of these packets, as they are specifically meant to facilitate dilution in water for application, rather than to store undiluted products.
