Which formulation type is designed for spot treatments and has a uniform shape and size?

The formulation type designed for spot treatments and characterized by a uniform shape and size is pellets. Pellets are small, round, or cylindrical particles that can be easily applied to specific areas, making them ideal for targeted applications in pest control, including herbicides. Their uniformity ensures accurate dosing and effectiveness in the areas where they are applied, as they maintain a consistent amount of active ingredient per unit. This precision is particularly important in spot treatments, where the goal is usually to control unwanted plants without affecting the surrounding desirable vegetation.

Other formulation types, such as dust or granules, may vary in size and shape, which can lead to uneven application and distribution. Water-Dispersible Granules (WDG) are different in that they dissolve in water to create a spray solution, rather than being used in a form that can be directly applied to specific spots. Each formulation serves different purposes, but for the intent of spot treatments requiring uniformity, pellets are the most suitable choice.
