GRANULAR: Pesticides

摘要

Granular pesticide formulations are dry products similar to dust formulations except that granules are larger and heavier and can't be applied with a duster. A fine granular pesticide pours like sugar or salt. The active insecticide is coated onto orabsorbed into carrier particles made from an absorptive material such as clay, pieces of corn cobs or walnut shells. The amount of active ingredient in granular pesticides is relatively low, ranging from 1 to 15 percent by weight. The symbol "G" is often used on the pesticide label to denote a granular formulation.
