Pelleted formulations are typically designed as solid, ready-to-use products, which means they do not require mixing with water or solvents before application. Their primary characteristic is that they remain in solid form and do not form a liquid when applied. This solid form allows for easier handling and application, as well as reducing the risk of environmental contamination.
When considering the other characteristics, pelleted formulations are known for their low drift hazard since solid pellets are less likely to be carried away by wind compared to liquid sprays. This makes them a safer choice for applications near sensitive areas. Additionally, pelleted formulations often provide uniform distribution due to their consistent size and shape, ensuring that the product disperses evenly across the target area.
Thus, the characteristic that does not apply to pelleted formulations is their tendency to form a liquid upon application, as they remain solid and are applied as such.
