Granular fertilizer is typically described as:

• A. used dry; usually in form of pellets; designed to be used in granular form. Not an organic fertilizer
• B. A fertilizer applied as a liquid
• C. A soil conditioner used in composting
• D. A pesticide labeled for garden use

Answer: (A)

Granular describes a fertilizer by its physical form and how it’s applied: a dry, pelletized product that you spread onto the soil as granules. This pelletized, dry form is what makes something a granular fertilizer and distinguishes it from liquid fertilizers, which are applied as a spray or drench, from soil conditioners that are used to improve soil texture and structure, and from pesticides that are used to control pests. Granular fertilizers are convenient for even, on-the-ground application and often release nutrients gradually as moisture moves through the soil.
