The label 'X-Pest 5G' on a pesticide product indicates which of the following?

• A. Granular pesticide with 5% active ingredient.
• B. Granular pesticide with 5% inert ingredient.
• C. Gel pesticide with 5% active ingredient.
• D. Liquid pesticide with 5% active ingredient.

Answer: (D)

Understanding pesticide product labels helps you know both the form and how much active ingredient is present. The suffix on a formulation often indicates the physical form, while the number before it shows the percent of active ingredient. The letter G signals a granular product, not a liquid or gel. So X-Pest 5G is a granular formulation that contains 5% active ingredient, with the remaining material acting as the carrier. Granular products are applied as granules to soil or targeted areas, unlike liquids that would carry designations such as LI or EC. This is why the label describes it as a granular product with 5% active ingredient.
