Mode of Action:
•        Pendimethalin (35% SE):
Inhibits cell division and root growth in weeds, leading to seedling death before emergence.
•        Diclosulam (0.9%):
Blocks amino acid synthesis, disrupting enzyme activity, and causing weed suppression during germination.

•        Vegetables (Potatoes, Tomatoes, etc.)
Dosage and Application:
Pre-Emergence Application:
Dosage: 750–1000 ml per acre (depends on crop and weed intensity).
Water Volume: 150–200 liters per acre.

Method:
•        Apply uniformly using a knapsack sprayer with a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle.
•        Ensure proper soil moisture for maximum absorption.
Soil Incorporation Method:
