Which equipment is used for granular application?

• A. Drop spreader, rotary spreader, and a shaker can
• B. Handheld spray bottle, fogger, and mist blower
• C. Trailer sprayer, canopy sprayer, and misting tent
• D. Seed drill, broadcast spreader, and planters

Answer: (A)

Granular application relies on equipment that can meter and distribute solid pellets evenly onto a surface. A drop spreader places granules directly below the unit for precise, targeted placement. A rotary spreader throws granules out in a wider arc to cover larger areas efficiently. A shaker can is a hand-held tool that physically dispenses granules as you shake it, useful for spot treatments or small areas. Together, these tools handle dry, granular formulations for pest control or soil amendments and match the practical needs of granular application. The other options focus on liquids or planting tasks. Tools like a handheld spray bottle, fogger, and mist blower apply liquids or aerosols rather than dry granules. Trailer sprayers, canopy sprayers, and misting tents are designed for spraying liquids, not distributing solid pellets. Seed drills, broadcast spreaders, and planters emphasize planting seeds; while a broadcast spreader can carry granular materials, the combination here is more aligned with seed and planting use than dedicated granular pest application.
