Description:

AGRIVENTURE PENDI GOLD is a selective, advanced micro-encapsulated (Capsule Suspension) pre-emergence herbicide. It stops annual grasses and broadleaf weeds from germinating by blocking cell division in root tips. It is highly effective for crops like soybeans, onions, chilies, and cotton.

Technical content: Pendimethalin 38.7% CS

Key Features & Benefits:

• Advanced Micro-Capsule Technology: The (CS) formulation ensures a slow, controlled release of the active ingredient, extending the window of weed suppression.
• Superior Weed Control: Broad-spectrum action eliminates major annual grasses and broadleaf weeds before they emerge, removing early competition for sunlight, water, and soil nutrients.
• Long-Lasting Residual Action: Provides extended weed control for up to 40 days, which covers the most critical period of crop establishment.
• Weather & Heat Resistant: Unlike older EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate) formulas, the micro-capsule shell minimizes photo-volatilization (evaporation) even in hot, sunny conditions.
• High Crop Safety: Highly selective, meaning it prevents weed root and shoot development without causing phytotoxic effects to the main crop.
• Stain & Odor Free: The modern CS formulation leaves no yellow staining on skin or spray equipment and produces minimal chemical odor.
• Cost-Effective: Reduces the heavy reliance and expenses associated with manual labor and early-stage hand-weeding.

Crops suitability: AGRIVENTURE PENDI GOLD widely used on crops such as onions, cotton, chilli and soybeans.

Commonly used for: AGRIVENTURE PENDI GOLD used to control annual grasses, sedges, and certain broadleaf weeds.

Mode of entry: Absorbed primarily by the roots and shoots of germinating weed seedlings as they grow and pass through the treated soil layer.

Mode of action:

• Capsule Suspension (CS): The micro-encapsulation ensures a slow, controlled release of the active ingredient. This formulation significantly reduces volatility, limits evaporation in hot temperatures, and prevents leaching.
• Site of Action: It disrupts the assembly of microtubules during cell division, which stops the plant from growing and dividing its cells.
• Absorption: Susceptible weeds absorb the chemical mainly through their roots and shoots as they germinate.

Mode of application: Use a knapsack or foot sprayer fitted with a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle.    

Dose: 4.5 - 5ml per 1 liter water or 70 ml in 15-liter water

Additional information:

• Soil Condition: The soil must be moist for the herbicide to activate. If dry, apply the spray and give the field a light irrigation.
• Application Window: Best applied as a pre-emergence spray within 0-3 days after sowing the main crop (before weeds emerge).
• Target Weeds: Controls a wide range of annual grasses (like Echinochloa and Digitaria) and broadleaf weeds.
