Which formulation uses capsules for the slow release of the active ingredient?

The use of capsules in an encapsulated formulation provides a controlled and slow release of the active ingredient. This type of formulation is designed to protect the active ingredients from environmental factors, enhance their stability, and allow for gradual release over time. This slow release is beneficial in pest management as it prolongs the effectiveness of the treatment without the need for more frequent applications.

Granular formulations, while effective for many applications, do not utilize capsules for release; instead, they rely on the breakdown of granules to disperse the active ingredient. Suspendable concentrates involve active ingredients suspended in a liquid but do not incorporate the slow-release mechanism provided by capsules. Water-soluble packaging, on the other hand, dissolves in water rather than releasing the active ingredient over time in a controlled manner. Thus, encapsulated formulations stand out for their specific use of capsules to manage the release of pesticides effectively.
