What is the typical AI concentration range for pellets?

The typical active ingredient (AI) concentration range for pesticide pellets is generally found to be between 5% and 20%. This range is common because it allows for effective delivery of the pesticide while still maintaining safety standards for use. At this concentration, pesticides can achieve the desired efficacy in controlling pests without introducing excessive risk to non-target organisms or the environment.

Higher concentrations, such as those found in options indicating 25% or more, might be used in specific formulations but are not typical for general-purpose pellets. Pellets are designed to be easy to apply and to mitigate the risks associated with higher concentrations, which can lead to issues with handling, application precision, and potential environmental harm. Therefore, the 5-20% range strikes a balance between effectiveness and safety, making it the standard for most pellet formulations in pesticide applications.
