This selective herbicide blend combines Pendimethalin from the dinitroaniline family and Imazethapyr from the imidazolinone group to deliver broad-spectrum weed control in soybean and peanut crops. The dual chemistry approach targets both annual grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds, safeguarding crops during their critical early growth stages. Selectivity in soybeans and peanuts is achieved through the crop’s rapid detoxification of the active ingredients via hydroxylation and glycosylation pathways, ensuring effective weed suppression without injury to the crop.

• Pendimethalin acts as a microtubule assembly inhibitor, disrupting cell division and elongation in germinating weed seeds. It is absorbed primarily through roots and shoots, killing young plants shortly after germination or early emergence.

• Imazethapyr inhibits acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS/ALS), blocking the biosynthesis of essential branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine), leading to disrupted protein and DNA synthesis. It is absorbed through both roots and foliage, translocated via xylem and phloem, and accumulates in meristematic tissues, halting weed growth at the growing points.

• Dual Mode of Action: Two complementary herbicide classes work synergistically to prevent resistance build-up and ensure effective control of diverse weed species.

• Broad Weed Spectrum: Controls problematic annual grasses, sedges, and key broadleaf weeds in soybean cultivation.

• Crop Safety: High selectivity for soybeans and peanuts due to rapid metabolic detoxification in the crop.

• Residual Soil Activity: Extends weed control beyond the initial application window, reducing competition during the early crop growth phase.

• Flexibility in Application: Can be used pre-emergence or early post-emergence for effective results in varied field conditions.

• Enhanced Yield Potential: Eliminates early weed competition, enabling crops to utilize nutrients, water, and light more efficiently.
