Pendimethalin

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the cell division and elongation in target plants

Common Product Names: Prowl, Pendulum, Pin Dee

What is it?

Pendimethalin is a dinitroaniline herbicide, typically applied to the soil surface before weed seeds germinate. It has a yellow to orange crystalline appearance and is commonly used in the form of emulsifiable concentrates, granules, or wettable powders. Pendimethalin is non-volatile and has a low water solubility, which contributes to its effectiveness as a pre-emergent herbicide.

How does it work?

Pendimethalin is predominantly a pre-emergent herbicide, meaning it is applied before weed seeds germinate. Once applied, it forms a chemical barrier at the soil surface, preventing weed seeds from successfully emerging. By disrupting the microtubule assembly, pendimethalin inhibits cell division, which is crucial for the growth and development of weeds. This results in the death of weed seedlings before they can cause any harm to crops or desired plants.

Benefits

  • Effective Pre-emergent Control: Prevents weed seeds from germinating, reducing the competition for nutrients, water, and light.
  • Long Residual Activity: Provides extended control, typically lasting several weeks to months, depending on environmental conditions.
  • Reduced Need for Post-emergent Herbicides: By effectively controlling weeds before they emerge, the reliance on post-emergent herbicides is minimized.
