Modern pellet application is faster, wider, and more demanding than ever. With spreaders like the Stocks Pro-Jet 65 capable of high forward speeds and long throws, pellets need to be tough enough to survive the journey from hopper to soil — and still land intact where slugs can find them.
That’s exactly what we set out to test.
To achieve a uniform spread, a pellet needs adequate mass and consistent density. The larger the pellet, the greater its mass — and the greater the energy that can be imparted to propel it. This is why De Sangosse ferric phosphate pellets spread further, more evenly, and provide optimal protection over and above competitor pellets.
When pellets break up in the spreader or lose mass in-flight, you get poor baiting density, increased dust, and patchy control. A premium pellet solves that by delivering:
Using high-speed video through a Stocks Ag Fan Pro-Jet 65 applicator, we assessed the ballistics of two pellets in real-world conditions:

Independent Spreadability Testing
In an independent spreadability test performed by SCS, De Sangosse ferric phosphate pellets achieved the best stability and uniform coverage at 24m+, with minimal breakage against three competitor pellets tested.

The Coefficient of Variation (CV) is a standard way of measuring how evenly pellets are spread across the bout. It compares the variation in pellet distribution to the average, expressed as a percentage.
These results confirm that our pellets maintain accuracy and baiting density even at wide spreads, outperforming the competition.
The advantage comes down to De Sangosses TDS advanced wet process manufacturing processing:
This combination allows De Sangosse pellets to fly further, spread more evenly, and remain intact, ensuring slugs encounter them quickly.
The speed and spread test, backed by independent SCS spreadability data, proves it — De Sangosse premium slug pellets survive the journey, land intact, and deliver control where it counts. That means better slug protection, fewer reapplications, and more confidence in the field.
