GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: eChem Pendimethalin 330 Herbicide

Product Overview:

• eChem Pendimethalin 330 Herbicide is a selective herbicide effective against most annual grasses and certain broadleaved weeds.
• It controls weeds by inhibiting seedling development and is not effective against established weeds.
• Soil conditions and preparation are crucial for optimal results.

Pre-application Considerations:

• Weed-Free Seedbeds: For best results, seedbeds should be free of weeds, trash, and clods at the time of application.
• Organic Matter: Soils with high organic matter (>6%) may result in poor control; it is recommended to avoid application on such soils.

Crop Injury and Recovery:

• Crop injury may occur in cold, wet weather following planting or on poorly prepared seedbeds.
• Favorable growing conditions usually lead to crop recovery and normal growth.

Staining Precaution:

• eChem Pendimethalin 330 Herbicide will stain (yellow) objects it contacts.
• Keep non-target objects clear of the product and spray to prevent staining.

MIXING:

• When using eChem Pendimethalin 330 Herbicide alone, add it to a partially filled tank, then add the remaining water. Mix thoroughly.
• In tank mixes with atrazine or diuron, mix these products as per their labels, add eChem Pendimethalin 330 Herbicide last, and complete filling the tank.
• Maintain good agitation until spraying is completed.

APPLICATION METHOD:

Ground Application:

• Equipment: Use conventional sprayers with mechanical or bypass agitation. Flat fan nozzles are recommended.
• Calibration: Calibrate equipment for proper application. Nozzle screens should be no finer than 50 mesh for tank mixtures.
• Water Volume: Apply the recommended quantity of eChem Pendimethalin 330 Herbicide in 50 - 200 litres of water per hectare.
• Higher water rates are recommended for pre-emergence surface treatment.

Aerial Application:

• Crops: Suitable for pre-plant soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, peanuts, navy beans, cow peas, mung beans, pigeon peas, and post-plant, post-flushed combine-sown rice.
• Water Volume: Apply the recommended quantity in 25 - 60 litres of water per hectare.
• Calibration: Ensure proper calibration, maintain an even spray pattern, use markers, and adhere to wind speed restrictions.

INCORPORATION:

• Thorough Mixing: Incorporate eChem Pendimethalin 330 Herbicide with soil mechanically, by irrigation, or rainfall.
• Post-plant Pre-emergence: Adequate rainfall or irrigation within 3 - 5 days is essential for incorporation. Light mechanical incorporation may be needed in the absence of rain or irrigation.
• Special Considerations: Maize, carrots, and rice are sensitive; grapevines require incorporation before budswell.

Cereal Seed Dressings:

• Caution: Some fungicidal seed dressings affecting coleoptile length may impact emergence. Ensure good seed depth control.

Weather Conditions at Planting:

• Cold Weather Caution: Crop injury may occur if cold weather follows planting. Recovery is expected with improved conditions.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING:

• eChem Pendimethalin 330 Herbicide belongs to Group D herbicides with a mode of action inhibiting tubulin formation.
• Resistance management is crucial to avoid dominance of resistant weed biotypes.

COMPATIBILITY:

• Tested Physical Compatibility with various herbicides. Follow specific directions under mixing if tank-mixing with other products.
