What is the main advantage of using granular herbicides?

The primary advantage of using granular herbicides is that they tend to have less drift compared to liquid formulations. This characteristic is crucial in right-of-way applications, where maintaining control over the herbicide's impact is essential to avoid unintended harm to non-target plants or nearby sensitive areas. Granular herbicides are applied in solid form, which reduces the risk of airborne drift that can occur with liquid sprays, especially under wind conditions.

This localized application can also result in a more targeted delivery of the herbicide to the intended vegetation, enhancing efficacy while minimizing environmental risks.

While other options may present certain benefits in specific contexts, the reduced potential for drift stands out as a significant advantage for those managing sensitive areas along rights-of-way.
