How Pendimethalin 30 EC Works

Pendimethalin is a mitotic inhibitor. It is absorbed by germinating weed seeds through the shoot and root tips, where it blocks cell division. Weeds die before they emerge from the soil.

The herbicide binds tightly to soil particles and stays in the top 2–3 cm  exactly where most weed seeds germinate  without leaching into the crop's root zone.
