Pendamil Herbicide for Weed Control – Pendimethalin 30% EC

Pendamil Herbicide is a trusted pre-emergent solution from Insecticide India Limited (IIL), formulated with pendimethalin 30% EC for controlling annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Applied after sowing and before crop emergence, it forms a protective layer on the soil surface. Weeds absorb the pendimethalin as they sprout, which stops their growth right at the root and shoot level.

Farmers across India use Pendamil Herbicide in crops like pigeon pea, cotton, soybean, groundnut, and wheat. It improves early crop vigour by reducing competition from weeds during critical growth stages. When used with proper irrigation, the herbicide remains active in the topsoil and ensures season-long protection.
