well, I don't know how repeating your obviously flawed opinion makes it any different. but wail away.  used to use granulars, lorsban, thimet, Aztec, counter, amongst some others, but if you really are after the corn rootworm, then counter was and still is the best. but there are some crop safety issues with it.     granulars have some inherent problems, mostly related to moisture availability, and application equipment.  all you have to do is run a search on ag talk for smartbox, and it will give a afternoon of reading security, mostly negative posts I might add.                  we had granular applicators on all of our planters from the mid 60's until the second to last planter I bought, I hated them for several reasons. the most recent planter I have, has a liquid injection system,  i'd never go back to granulars unless this new product from Monsanto, proves to be the real deal.
