Which formulation is a granule formulation?

• A. Wettable powders
• B. Granules
• C. Liquid concentrates
• D. Emulsifiable concentrates

Answer: (B)

Granule formulations are solid, discrete particles made by binding the active ingredient to an inert carrier to form coarse grains. They’re designed for dry application and can be broadcast or placed in soil or around plant bases. This solid granule form makes handling easy, reduces dust and drift, and often allows for targeted or slow release as moisture interacts with the granules. In contrast, wettable powders are fine dry powders that must be mixed with water to form a suspension, liquid concentrates are liquids used at a dilution, and emulsifiable concentrates are oil-based liquids that form emulsions in water. Because granules are solid particles, they are the granule formulation.
