Which statement describes Fluridone brand names and forms?

• A. Fluridone brand names include Sonar, Avast, and WhiteCap; exists as liquid and granular; selective systemic herbicide.
• B. Fluridone is a non-selective contact herbicide.
• C. Fluridone is a gas used for aerial application.
• D. Fluridone is a fertilizer.

Answer: (A)

Fluridone is an aquatic herbicide used to control submerged vegetation, and it works systemically by moving within the plant to kill it rather than killing it on contact. It’s marketed under several brand names, including Sonar, Avast, and WhiteCap, and it comes in multiple formulations. Specifically, it’s available as both liquid and granular products, which lets applicators choose the method that fits the waterbody and target species. This combination—brand names tied to distinct formulations (liquid and granular) and its selective, systemic action—best describes how fluridone is marketed and used.

The other statements don’t fit because fluridone is not a non-selective contact herbicide, not a gas used for aerial application, and not a fertilizer.
