Which formulation type is commonly indicated by the suffix 'G' in product names?

• A. Granular
• B. Gel
• C. Gas
• D. Liquid concentrate

Answer: (A)

Suffixes in product names signal how the pesticide is formulated. The letter G is the standard shorthand for a granular formulation. Granular products are dry, free-flowing particles that are spread over a surface or into the soil and tend to stay where applied, releasing the active ingredient slowly as the granules break down. This is why the designation G is used for granular products. Other forms, like gels, gases, or liquid concentrates, use different naming conventions (not just a simple G), so they are not indicated by the suffix G.
