FAQs for GSP Pendifix (Pendimethalin 30% EC) Herbicide
1. How long does Pendifix remain active in the soil?
Ans. Pendimethalin stays active for a long duration—typically 70–100 days in field conditions—and may remain even longer in heavy soils with high clay and organic matter
2. Can I plant another crop after using Pendifix?
Ans. Yes—Pendifix undergoes gradual degradation. By the time you’re ready to plant a different crop (e.g., wheat after soy), residue levels are usually safe—but always observe waiting periods noted on labels
3. Is rainfall important after spraying?
Ans. Absolutely—it needs 12–25 mm of rain or irrigation within 7–10 days to activate in the soil and form a weed-guarding barrier. Without this moisture, weed control suffers
4. Does soil type affect the dose needed?
Ans. Yes—clay or organic-rich soils bind more herbicide, reducing effectiveness. So use higher rates in heavy soils (up to 2 L/acre) and lower rates on sandy soils (1.0–1.3 L/acre) for best results
5. Will it contaminate water or harm aquatic life?
Ans. Pendimethalin strongly binds in soil, so it’s unlikely to leach to groundwater. However, it's toxic to aquatic organisms, so avoid runoff and spraying near water
6. Is there a risk of resistance development?
Ans. There have been rare cases of resistance, e.g., in ryegrass. Prevent this by using different herbicide classes, rotating modes of action, and combining with mechanical weeding
7. Does heat and sunlight reduce its effectiveness?
Ans. No—pendimethalin remains stable and effective even under high temperatures, as it is soil-bound and not degraded by sunlight
