Krishikranti PENDIRICH Pendimethalin 38.7% CS is an advanced, high-concentration pre-emergence pendimethalin herbicide built on next-generation CS (Capsule Suspension) technology.

How PENDIRICH Pendimethalin 38.7 CS Works

The microcapsules in the CS formulation are deposited on the soil surface after spraying. Each capsule releases pendimethalin slowly over weeks, creating a steady chemical barrier in the top 2–3 cm of soil.

Germinating weed seeds absorb the active ingredient through their shoot and root tips and die before emerging from the soil. The slow-release action means the barrier lasts longer and works through more weed flushes than a conventional EC.
