Which characteristic distinguishes pellet formulations from other pesticide formulations?

The distinguishing characteristic of pellet formulations is their round cross-section and uniform size. This consistency in shape and size makes them different from other pesticide formulations, which can vary widely in particle size and form (like granules or powders).

Uniformity in size helps ensure that the application rate is consistent throughout the treated area, leading to more effective pest control and minimizing waste. The uniform pellets can also allow for more precise application methods, such as mechanical spreaders, enhancing the effectiveness of the pesticide application.

Other formulations may not provide this level of uniformity, leading to varied distribution and effectiveness, as they may comprise different particle sizes or shapes. Such differences can affect the rate at which products dissolve, disperse, or interact with the targeted pests or the environment.
