Pendimethalin protects crops like wheat, corn, soybeans, potatoes, cabbage, peas, carrots, and asparagus. It is used to control annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds which interfere with growth, development, yield and quality of agricultural and horticultural crops by competing on nutrients, water and light.
 
In areas where weed infestation is particularly high, yield losses can render wheat production economically unviable. In addition to wheat, a large number of crops are grown in Europe that are a relatively small percentage of total agricultural output. Herbicide options are limited for these minor crops, with few effective herbicides available in the vegetable sector. Long-term field studies performed in Germany by governmental research and advisory institutes together with farmers rank Pendimethalin as an efficient herbicide to control blackgrass, regarding to weed control efficacy, crop yield, treatment costs and environmental impact.

Crops used with: for different crops including cereals (wheat, barley, rye, triticale), corn, soybeans, rice, potato, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts as well as lawns and ornamental plants.

 Application Guidelines

Pendimethalin is primarily a soil-applied herbicide. Its effectiveness depends on correct application timing, soil moisture, soil characteristics and the susceptibility of the target weeds.

General application principles:

  1. Prepare the field and establish a suitable seedbed.

  2. Apply at the crop-specific timing authorized on the product label.

  3. Use calibrated spraying equipment for uniform coverage.

  4. Avoid excessive spray overlap and application drift.

  5. Follow label requirements for soil moisture and incorporation, where applicable.

  6. Avoid disturbing the treated soil layer unnecessarily after application.

  7. Observe all crop-specific precautions, waiting periods and restrictions.

Application Equipment: Knapsack sprayer, compression sprayer or suitable agricultural boom sprayer fitted with the nozzle specified on the approved label.

Dosage: Application rates, dilution volumes and harvest intervals must follow the locally registered RXSOL label. The reference page includes crop-specific recommendations, but these should not be transferred automatically to another brand or registration.

 

Mode of Action of Pendimethalin

Pendimethalin acts both pre-emergence, that is before weed seedlings have emerged, and early post-emergence. Pendimethalin inhibits root and shoot growth. It controls the weed population and prevents weeds from emerging, particularly during the crucial development phase of the crop. Its primary mode of action is to prevent plant cell division and elongation in susceptible species. In the HRAC classification of herbicides according their mode of action, pendimethalin is listed in group K1.
