FAQ for PANDA
Which crops is PANDA recommended for?
PANDA is recommended for cumin, cotton, wheat, pigeon pea, rice, onion, chillies, and soybean for pre-emergence control of grassy and broad-leaf weeds before they emerge and compete with crops.
What weeds does PANDA control?
PANDA controls Echinochloa spp., Euphorbia hirta, Amaranthus viridis, Portulaca oleracea, Eleusine indica, Chenopodium album, Melilotus alba, Anagallis arvensis, and Fumaria species.
How does Pendimethalin in PANDA work?
Pendimethalin inhibits tubulin polymerisation (cell division) and disrupts cell elongation in germinating weed seedlings through root uptake, preventing weed establishment in the crop field.
When should PANDA be applied?
Apply PANDA pre-emergence as a soil spray within 3 days of sowing before weed emergence. Light incorporation or irrigation after application improves soil contact and herbicidal activity.
Is PANDA safe for all registered crops?
Yes, PANDA is selective for all registered crops at recommended rates as crop seeds are planted deeper than the herbicide treatment zone. Avoid disturbing the treated soil surface after application.
