DESCRIPTION
Shriram Pend-Ultra Pendimethalin 38.7% CS Herbicide Details :
- Shriram Pend-Ultra is a pre-emergence selective herbicide containing Pendimethalin 38.7% CS. It effectively controls a wide spectrum of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in crops like cotton, chilli, onion, and soybean. Its advanced formulation ensures better field coverage, improved efficiency, and reduced photo-volatile losses, resulting in healthier crops and higher yields.
- Technical Name : Pendimethalin 38.7% CS
- Mode Of Action : Pendimethalin is a dinitroaniline herbicide that inhibits cell division and elongation in susceptible weed species, preventing germination and establishment of weeds by acting on their root and shoot meristems.
- Method & Time Of Application : Apply as a pre-emergence spray within 0–3 days of sowing or transplanting, before weeds emerge. Use flat-fan or flood-jet nozzles for uniform coverage on moist soil surface.
Features and Benefits:
- Controls annual grasses and broadleaf weeds effectively.
- Prevents competition for nutrients, sunlight, and moisture.
- Reduces weed pressure during early crop growth stages.
- Minimizes photo-volatile losses due to advanced CS formulation.
- Increases crop productivity by keeping fields weed-free at critical stages.
- Crops : Cotton, Chilli, Onion, Soybean
- Weeds Controlled : Chenopodium album, Dinebra arabica, Digitaria sanguinalis, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Eragrostis minor, Echinochloa colonum, Euphorbia hirta, Portulaca oleracea, Trianthema portulacastrum, Amaranthus viridis, Brachiaria mutica.

FAQs for the product of Shriram Pend‑Ultra Pendimethalin 38.7% CS Herbicide:
1. What kind of herbicide is Pend-Ultra?
Ans. Pend-Ultra contains Pendimethalin 38.7% CS, a selective, pre‑emergence herbicide widely used to control annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds by inhibiting cell division and elongation in germinating seeds.
2. How does it work to prevent weed growth?
Ans. Applied to soil before or immediately after sowing/transplanting, it forms a herbicidal barrier. Emerging weed seedlings absorb it through roots or shoots—stopping root development and preventing emergence altogether.
3. Which crops is Pend-Ultra suitable for?
Ans. Ideal for crops like cotton, chilli, onion, soybeans, and more in India. It also performs well in paddy, bi‑season vegetables, and oilseed plots.
4. What dosage is recommended per acre?
Ans.
- Approximately 700 ml per acre in a 200 L spray volume is common.
- For knapsack sprayers, use around 50 ml in 15 L water (~3.5 ml/L).
5. How long does the herbicide remain effective?
Ans. Pendimethalin offers up to 40–60 days of weed control, depending on soil type, moisture, and weed pressure.
6. Is it safe for crops and soil health?
Ans. Yes—Pend-Ultra is selective, sparing the target crop while controlling weeds. It's minimally mobile in soil, binds strongly to organic matter, degrades over time, and poses low risk to subsequent crops when used correctly.
7. Can weeds develop resistance to Pendimethalin?
Ans. Though rare, resistance has been observed in weeds like Lolium rigidum. To prevent this:
- Rotate with herbicides of different modes of action
- Integrate mechanical and cultural weed control methods
