Silver Crop Pendisil Pendimethalin 30% EC Herbicide

Silver Crop Pendisil Pendimethalin 30% EC Herbicide

Silver Crop Pendisil is a selective pre-emergence herbicide formulated with Pendimethalin 30% EC. It is widely used to control annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in various crops. The herbicide is applied before weed emergence and forms a protective layer on the soil surface which prevents weed seeds from germinating.

Pendisil belongs to the dinitroaniline group of herbicides and works by inhibiting cell division and growth in germinating weed seedlings. This reduces weed competition for nutrients, water and sunlight, allowing crops to establish strong and healthy growth.
