GADAR (Pendimethalin 30% EC)

• It is emulsifiable pre-emergence selective herbicide.
• Gadar is very much helpful in controlling the weeds of various crops.
• It acts by disrupting cell division and cell elongation in shoot and root meristem.
• The mechanism involves inhibition of microtubule formation in cells which results in inhibition of cell division.
• In wheat it is applied as pre-emergence i.e. immediately after sowing.
• It should not be used in the areas where aquaculture / pisciculture is practiced along with rice cultivation.

DESCRIPTION
Pendimethalin is an herbicide of the dinitroaniline class used in pre emergence and post emergence applications to control annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds. It inhibits cell division and cell elongation. Microtubule assembly inhibition.
Mode of action
Selective herbicide, absorbed by the roots and leaves. Affected plants die shortly after germination or following emergence from the soil.
Applications It is used to control most annual grasses and some broad-leaved weeds. It is recommended for use in soybean, cotton, chilli. It protects crops like wheat, corn, soybeans potatoes, cabbage, peas, carrots and asparagus. It is used to control annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds which interfere with growth. It inhibits root and shoot growth. It controls the weed population and prevents weeds from emerging, particularly during the crucial development phase of the crop. It is used to control most annual grasses and some broad-leaved weeds.

TOXICITY  DATA
Mammalian Toxicity		:		WHO (a.i.) III; Slightly hazardous
Environmental Toxicity		:		The major metabolic routes for pendimethalin involve hydroxylation of the 4-methyl and N-1ethyl groups, oxidation of these alkyl groups to carboxylic acids, nitro-reduction, cyclisation and conjugation. Not toxic for birds, mallard ducks, bobwhite quail. It is very toxic to fish, rainbow trout, bluegill sunfish, channel catfish. It is non toxic for worms. It is non toxic for bees.
