Pendimethalin 30 EC Price in India: Brand Comparison for Wheat, Cotton, Soybean and Paddy

Pendimethalin 30 EC price in India depends on the brand and, more than most farmers expect, on pack size. Dose does not differ by brand, so this guide compares all six Pendimethalin 30% EC brands at Spraykaro on what actually differs: 1-litre price, discount against MRP, pack sizes, cheapest per-litre price, and cost per acre at the same dose. The 1-litre price is only the starting point: the per-litre price falls as packs get larger, and the cheapest 1-litre brand is not always the cheapest per litre in bulk.

How pack size changes Pendimethalin 30 EC price per litre

For the brands on the current Spraykaro pack ladder, the per-litre price falls steadily with pack size, except Gadar, whose cheapest per-litre price is at its 30-litre pack. Pendamil runs from Rs. 470 per litre at 1 litre to Rs. 410 at 10 litres, Rs. 400 at 20 litres, Rs. 380 at 50 litres and Rs. 365 at 100 litres, with 500 ml packs at a small premium, starting at Rs. 255 for 500 ml. Pendifix and Pendistar run from Rs. 450 per litre at 1 litre to Rs. 390 at 10 litres, Rs. 380 at 20 litres, Rs. 360 at 50 litres and Rs. 345 at 100 litres. Dost runs from Rs. 480 per litre at 1 litre to Rs. 420 at 10 litres, Rs. 410 at 20 litres, Rs. 390 at 50 litres and Rs. 375 at 100 litres. SWAL Pendi matches Pendamil's 1-litre packs, from Rs. 470 per litre at 1 litre to Rs. 410 at 10 litres, Rs. 400 at 20 litres, Rs. 380 at 50 litres and Rs. 365 at 100 litres.

In pack totals, that is: Pendamil 5 litres Rs. 2125, 10 litres Rs. 4100 and 100 litres Rs. 36500; Pendifix and Pendistar 5 litres Rs. 2025, 10 litres Rs. 3900 and 100 litres Rs. 34500; Dost 5 litres Rs. 2175, 10 litres Rs. 4200 and 100 litres Rs. 37500; SWAL Pendi 5 litres Rs. 2125, 10 litres Rs. 4100 and 100 litres Rs. 36500. Gadar is not on that ladder: it starts at Rs. 255 for 500 ml and Rs. 450 for 1 litre, with a range of 500 ml, 1-litre, 5-litre and larger combo packs, so check its product page for the exact pack you need.

Which Pendimethalin 30 EC brand name should you buy?

There is no single best brand name for every field. Pendamil is the flagship choice for wheat, with a 500 ml pack for small areas. Pendistar and Pendifix are the joint cheapest per acre for wheat, at the same 1-litre price of Rs. 450. Gadar is also Rs. 450 per litre, with the widest pack range including 500 ml packs. Dost covers the widest crop list, including cotton, soybean, wheat and paddy, at the highest 1-litre price, so it is the most expensive per acre at the same dose. SWAL Pendi matches Pendamil on price. Dose does not separate these brands: all six are Pendimethalin 30% EC, so wheat dose is 1300 ml, 1700 ml and 2000 ml per acre by soil type for every one of them.

What to check before you buy on price

• Compare cost per acre at the same dose, dose multiplied by price per litre, not just the 1-litre price. Dose is the same for all brands, so price is the difference.
• Check the wheat dose for your soil type, not just the brand average, especially for Pendifix.
• Check pack size: a 100-litre pack is Rs. 345 to Rs. 375 per litre depending on brand, against Rs. 450 to Rs. 480 at 1 litre.
• Check that the product is Pendimethalin 30% EC, not Pendimethalin 38.7% CS or a Pendimethalin plus Imazethapyr mix, which are different technicals with different doses.
• Apply within 0 to 3 days after sowing, on moist soil, or the cheapest spray can still fail.
