[Use] : Pendimethalin is a widely used pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicide (e.g., Prowl, Pendulum) that controls annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in agriculture, turf, and ornamentals by inhibiting cell division. It is typically applied to the soil surface or incorporated before weed germination, often in spring. It is highly effective in crops like corn, soybeans, and vegetables, as well as in turfgrass management.
