What is a Pellet (P or PS) formulation type?

• A. A preformed mixture of active ingredient and inert to form small pieces
• B. A ready-to-use granular product
• C. A soluble powder that dissolves in water
• D. A wettable powder that suspends in water

Answer: (D)

Pellet formulations are solid, preformed units created by combining the active ingredient with inert material and a binder, then forming them into small pieces. This pelletized form distributes as discrete pellets and often provides controlled or targeted release. It’s not a wettable powder that needs to suspend in water, nor a soluble powder that dissolves, nor simply a generic ready-to-use granular product—the defining trait is the pelletized, solid piece structure.
