More Details

GADAR MAX is a selective, pre-emergent herbicide manufactured by HPM India.1 It contains Pendimethalin 38.7% CS (Capsule Suspension) as its active ingredient. This herbicide is used to control most annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds in crops like soybean, cotton, and chilli.2

Key features and benefits:

  • Advanced capsule technology: The active ingredient is encapsulated in tiny capsules, providing controlled release and enhancing its effectiveness.

  • Pre-emergent action: GADAR MAX is applied to the soil before weeds emerge, forming a protective barrier that prevents their germination and growth.3

  • Absorption through roots and leaves: It is absorbed by the emerging weeds through both their roots and shoots, ensuring effective control.4

  • Soil retention: The capsule technology helps the herbicide to remain in the soil, providing longer-lasting weed control.

  • No harmful effects: GADAR MAX doesn't show any harmful effects on crops or soil.

  • No residual effect: It doesn't adversely affect subsequent crops, allowing for flexible crop rotation.

  • Reduced evaporation: The advanced formulation minimizes evaporation, even at high temperatures.5

  • Cost-effective: It offers efficient weed control at an economical price.

Mode of action:

Pendimethalin inhibits cell division and elongation in the shoots and roots of susceptible plants.6 This disruption of growth processes leads to the death of the weeds.
