Pendamil Super (Pendimethalin 38.7% CS) – Advanced Pre-Emergence Herbicide
The "Smart Capsule" Solution for Weed-Free Sowing in Soybean, Cotton, and Vegetables.
Pendamil Super by Insecticides (India) Limited is a next-generation weed control solution. Unlike older herbicides that evaporate quickly in the heat, Pendamil Super uses advanced Capsule Suspension (CS) Technology. This means the active ingredient is locked inside microscopic shells that release slowly, giving you longer protection against grasses and broadleaf weeds without staining your hands or equipment.
Best For: Farmers looking to replace expensive manual labor with a safe, effective, and long-lasting chemical barrier from Day 1.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️45 Days of Protection: Slow-release capsules keep the medicine active in the soil longer than traditional EC formulations, covering the critical weed competition period.
- ?️Superior Crop Safety: Water-based formulation with no harsh solvents means no "solvent burn" on young crop seedlings. Safe for sensitive crops like Onion and Chilli.
- ⏳Immediate Action: Applied within 0-3 days of sowing, it kills weeds before they even emerge from the soil.
- ?️Weather & UV Proof: The polymer shell protects the chemical from breaking down in sunlight or evaporating in high heat (up to 45°C+).
- ?No Yellow Staining: Unlike the old 30% EC formulation, Pendamil Super does not stain your hands, clothes, or spray tanks yellow.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Pendamil Super works by creating a chemical film on the soil surface. It targets weeds at the cellular level through Mitotic Inhibition.
- The Barrier: Upon spraying, the capsules settle on the soil and slowly release the active ingredient, forming a lethal layer in the top 1 inch of soil.
- Absorption: As weed seeds germinate, their emerging roots and shoots absorb the herbicide from the soil.
- The Stop: The chemical binds to tubulin in the plant cells, stopping cell division. The root tips swell and stop growing, causing the weed to die before it ever surfaces.
Note: It does not kill established weeds. It must be applied before weeds grow.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Soybean | Echinochloa (Barnyard grass), Amaranthus, Portulaca, Trianthema |

| Chilli & Onion | Echinochloa spp, Amaranthus viridis, Chenopodium album |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 700 ml | 150 - 200 L | 3.5 - 4.5 ml | 40 Days |
| Cotton | 700 ml | 150 - 200 L | 3.5 - 4.5 ml | 101 Days |
| Chilli / Onion | 700 ml | 150 - 200 L | 3.5 - 4.5 ml | 98 - 104 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray within 0 to 3 days of sowing (Pre-Emergence). Do not delay. Once weeds sprout, this product will not work.
- Mixing: Use 200 Liters of water per acre. Good coverage is essential for the chemical barrier to work. Use a Flat Fan Nozzle or Floodjet nozzle.
- Coverage: Ensure soil is moist at the time of application. Do not disturb the soil surface after spraying, as this breaks the chemical film.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Pendamil Super kill weeds that are already growing?
No. Pendamil Super is a pre-emergence herbicide. It only works on weed seeds before they germinate. If weeds are visible, you must use a different weed killer (post-emergence).
2. Why is the CS formulation better than the old 30% EC?
The CS (Capsule Suspension) holds the chemical in micro-capsules. This prevents it from evaporating in hot sun, stops it from staining your equipment yellow, and provides longer protection (up to 45 days) compared to the 20-25 days of EC.
3. Can I mix this with other herbicides?
Yes, for crops like Soybean, it is often tank-mixed with Imazethapyr for broader control. Always perform a small jar test first and follow the "WALES" mixing order.
4. Will it damage my crop?
No, provided you use the recommended dose (700ml/acre) and sow your seeds at the proper depth. The CS formulation is water-based and much safer for young seedlings than solvent-based sprays.
5. Is it rainfast?
Yes, once the spray has dried on the soil (usually within 24 hours), the capsules stick well and resist washing off, unlike older liquid formulations.
