Prodiamine

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the cell division in the roots of plants / Disrupts the mitotic process

Common Product Names: Barricade, Resolute, Cavalcade

What is it?

Prodiamine is a yellow, crystalline solid used extensively in agriculture and turf management. It is known for its effectiveness in controlling a broad spectrum of grassy and broadleaf weeds. Because it is a pre-emergent herbicide, it is applied before the weeds germinate, providing a barrier that prevents weed seeds from sprouting and developing into mature plants.

How does it work?

Prodiamine is applied to the soil surface, where it forms a chemical barrier that disrupts the germination process of weed seeds. When weed seeds begin to germinate, they absorb Prodiamine, which then inhibits cell division in the root tips of the emerging seedlings. This prevents the weeds from developing roots and shoots, effectively stopping their growth before they can become established. Because of its pre-emergent nature, Prodiamine must be applied before weed seeds germinate for maximum effectiveness.

Benefits

  • Effective Pre-emergent Control: Prodiamine is highly effective at preventing a wide range of grassy and broadleaf weeds from germinating.
  • Long-lasting Residual Activity: It provides long-lasting control, often for several months, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for use in various settings, including lawns, golf courses, ornamental beds, and agricultural fields.
  • Reduces Weed Competition: By preventing weed growth, Prodiamine helps desirable plants thrive by reducing competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight.
  • Cost-effective: Its long residual activity and effectiveness mean fewer applications are needed, saving time and money.
  • Safe for Established Plants: When used as directed, Prodiamine does not harm established plants, making it a safe option for maintaining healthy turf and landscapes.
