Granular treatments typically require what type of equipment for application?

Granular treatments are best applied using equipment specifically designed to evenly distribute solid particles. Granule spreaders, which can be either mechanical or manual, are often utilized for this purpose. These spreaders help ensure that the granules cover the treatment area uniformly, which is crucial for the effectiveness of the pesticide. Manual application can also be appropriate for smaller areas, allowing for precise placement of the granules where needed.

Other types of equipment, such as spray nozzles, high-pressure pumps, and spray drones, are generally unsuitable for granular applications. Spray nozzles and pumps are designed for liquid formulations and would not effectively deliver solid granules. Similarly, while spray drones are increasingly used for liquid pesticide applications, they are not designed to handle granules, limiting their effectiveness in this context. Therefore, using granule spreaders or manual application is the right choice for applying granular treatments.
