| Total | 100% |
How it Works (Mode of Action)
- Inhibits Cell Growth: Pendimethalin is absorbed by the roots and leaves of weeds, disrupting the formation of microtubules necessary for cell division and elongation.
- Pre-emergent Action: It creates a protective barrier on the soil surface, preventing weed seeds from germinating and growing.
- Crop Safety: It is selective and does not harm the crops when applied correctly.
Key Features
- Broad-Spectrum: Controls a wide range of annual grasses and many broadleaf weeds.
- Residual Control: Provides prolonged weed control with a single application.
- Easy Application: As an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC), it readily dissolves in water for easy spray application.
How to Apply
- Sowing: First, complete the sowing of your crop.
- Irrigation: Water the field.
- Application: Apply the herbicide in a thin, uniform layer on the soil surface.
- Method 1: Spray within 24 hours of irrigation.
- Method 2: Spray and then irrigate within 24 hours.
- Reverse Walking: When spraying, walk in reverse to avoid walking on the newly sprayed soil.
Important Considerations
- Soil Moisture: Sufficient soil moisture is required for the herbicide to form its protective layer.
- Crop Safety: Always follow recommended dosages to avoid phytotoxic effects on your crops.
- Compatibility: It is best sprayed as a single chemical; check for compatibility before mixing with other products.
