PENDIGO

(Pendimethalin 30% EC)

PENDIGO is a selective, pre-emergence herbicide formulated with Pendimethalin 30% EC, developed for effective control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in field crops.

Pendimethalin acts by inhibiting cell division and root-shoot development in germinating weed seeds, preventing their emergence from soil.

The herbicide forms a protective herbicidal layer on the soil surface, restricting weed growth during the critical early crop establishment phase.

Target Pests

Pendimethalin controls germinating annual grassy and broadleaf weeds by inhibiting root and shoot growth, preventing weed emergence during early crop stages, effectively suppressing Echinochloa, Digitaria, Amaranthus, Chenopodium, Trianthema, Setaria, and Portulaca species.

Effectively Controls

  • Annual grassy weeds
  • Annual broadleaf weeds
  • Echinochloa grass species
  • Digitaria grass weeds
  • Setaria weed species
  • Eleusine indica weeds
  • Amaranthus weed species
  • Chenopodium album weeds
  • Trianthema portulacastrum weeds
  • Portulaca oleracea weeds
  • Early weed seedlings
  • Germinating weed seeds

Application Areas

  • Soybean Crop Fields Pre-emergence weed suppression support
  • Groundnut Cultivation Areas Reduces early flush of weeds
  • Cotton Pre-Emergence Stage Prevents weeds during initial crop growth
  • Pulses and Oilseed Crops Maintains clean fields at establishment
  • Vegetable Crop Beds Controls weeds before crop emergence
  • Plantation Crop Basins Limits weed growth around root zones

Benefits & Advantages

  • Early Weed Emergence Prevention Stops weeds at the germination stage
