DEGUCHI+ – Pendimethalin 38.7% CS is a highly effective pre-emergence herbicide formulated as a capsule suspension (CS). It provides powerful and long-lasting control of a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in crops such as rice, wheat, maize, and various vegetables. DEGUCHI+ works by inhibiting weed growth at the root and shoot development stages, preventing weed competition and ensuring optimal crop establishment, healthy growth, and higher yields.
Inhibits Cell Division and Elongation: Pendimethalin disrupts mitosis by inhibiting microtubule formation in plant cells → prevents cell division and elongation → stops weed emergence and growth.
Pre-Emergence & Early Post-Emergence Control: Forms a barrier in the soil → prevents weed seed germination and early growth stages.
Long Residual Action: Provides effective control of weeds for 30–45 days after application.
Broad-spectrum weed control – Controls grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges such as barnyard grass, pigweed, foxtail, and others.
Long residual protection – Keeps fields weed-free during critical early crop growth stages.
Promotes better crop establishment and growth – Reduces competition for nutrients, light, and water.
Capsule Suspension Technology – Provides slow and steady release of active ingredient for prolonged effect.
Crop-safe formulation – Safe for rice, wheat, maize, and other recommended crops when applied as advised.
Easy application – Uniform soil application with easy handling and mixing.
Crops: Rice, wheat, maize, vegetables, and other recommended crops.
Dosage: 1.5–2.5 liters per hectare in 200–300 liters of water, depending on crop type and weed pressure.
Timing: Apply pre-emergence just after sowing or before transplanting.
Method of Application: Uniform soil spray over the field before weed emergence.
Precautions:
Use personal protective equipment (PPE) during application.
Avoid overdose to prevent crop phytotoxicity.
Do not apply on waterlogged fields.
