Mode of Action:

• Pendimethalin disrupts cell division and cell elongation in shoot and root meristems of susceptible plants.
• Germination of plants is unaffected by the herbicides; growth inhibition and subsequent death occur following germination of the seed or shortly after emergence from the soil.
• Typical symptoms of the aerial parts of susceptible dicot (broadleaf) weed plants that emerge include severe stunting, intense green coloration, and a leathery appearance of the cotyledons.
• Monocot (grasses & sedge) that emerged are stunted & twisted and show a re-purple coloration. Root effects are observed as a characteristic swelling of the tip. Shoot growth inhibition occurs in susceptible monocots after absorption by the coleoptile nodes, when this meristematic region is in contact with or passes through the area treated with Pendimethalin.

Key Properties / USPs:

• Pre-emergence herbicide controls the weeds before they emerge, no loss to crop, result more nutrients available to crop.
