What is a key benefit of using granules over dust?

Using granules over dust offers a significant advantage in terms of drift reduction. Granules are larger, heavier particles compared to dust, which means they are less susceptible to wind and air movement. As a result, when applied, granules tend to stay closer to the ground, minimizing the chance that they will be carried away by air currents. This makes them a more controlled option for application, reducing the risk of pesticide drift onto non-target areas or nearby environments, which is crucial for environmental protection and compliance with regulations.

The effectiveness of granules can depend on the specific circumstances of use, and while they might require a specific amount of product tailored for the intended application, their physical properties significantly enhance precision and safety during application compared to dust formulations.
