Which type of formulations are the least likely to create drift problems?

Granular formulations are indeed the least likely to create drift problems due to their physical properties. Unlike liquid formulations, which can easily become airborne and be carried by the wind, granular products are solid particles that tend to stay in place once they are applied to the target area. This heavy, particulate nature minimizes the risk of the product being dispersed into the air and reduces the likelihood of unintended contact with non-target organisms or nearby areas.

In contrast, aqueous solutions and emulsifiable concentrates can form fine droplets that may be susceptible to wind and could drift away from the intended application site. Suspensions also present some risk of drift, as they can form suspended particles that might be carried by the air. Therefore, the use of granular formulations is often recommended in situations where drift is a significant concern, such as near sensitive sites or when applying pesticides in windy conditions.
