Which formulation is usually ready to use and minimizes drift?

• A. Soluble Powder (SP)
• B. Granular (G)
• C. Wettable Powder (WP)
• D. Pellet (P or PS)

Answer: (B)

Granular formulations are typically ready-to-use and minimize drift because they are dry particles that can be applied directly with a spreader, without mixing with water. Their heavier, larger particles settle quickly and are less prone to being carried by wind, reducing off-target movement. In contrast, soluble powders and wettable powders must be mixed with water to form a spray, producing fine droplets that can drift more easily. Pellets are also dry, but the common standard described for ready-to-use and drift reduction is granular.
