Which statement about a product with a suffix indicating 'G' is true?

• A. It denotes a granular formulation
• B. It denotes a gas formulation
• C. It denotes a gel formulation
• D. It denotes a liquid emulsifiable concentrate

Answer: (A)

Suffix 'G' on a pesticide product signals a granular formulation. Granular products are dry, free-flowing particles that mix the active ingredient with an inert carrier and are designed to be spread or placed in the soil. They remain as discrete granules rather than forming a liquid or gas, which is why this designation is used. This type of formulation is especially common for soil-dwelling or surface pests and often provides localized, slow release. The label uses other designations for liquid or gaseous forms, so a product with 'G' is specifically indicating granules, not a gel, liquid, or gas.
