Which pesticide formulation would be referred to as Wettable Granule?

The correct answer is: WG

The designation "Wettable Granule" is indicated by the abbreviation WG. This type of formulation consists of granular particles that have been treated to be easily mixed with water to create a suspension. When mixed, WG formulations produce a slurry that can be more easily applied to various surfaces, ensuring effective pesticide delivery. Wettable Granules are particularly valued for their ability to adhere to plants and soil, providing a sustained release of the active ingredient while minimizing off-target movement. This form is often preferred due to its reduced dustiness during handling and application, which can improve safety for both the applicator and the environment. Other formulations, such as PG (Packaged Granules), DF (Dry Flowable), and SP (Soluble Powder), represent different types of pesticide products with distinct characteristics and application methods, making them unsuitable for the designation of Wettable Granule.
