Product Description
Bunker (Pendimethalin 30% E.C.) is an emulsifiable, selective pre-emergence herbicide from PI Industries. It is designed to create a thin chemical barrier on the soil surface that halts the germination and development of both narrow-leaf (grassy) and broadleaf weeds during the early developmental phases of crops.
Key Features
- Broad-spectrum control targeting grasses, broad-leaved weeds, and sedges.
- Flexibility in application timing as a pre-emergent treatment across multiple field crops.
- Forms a uniform weed-preventing film layer across the soil matrix.
- Suppresses both root and shoot growth in emerging unwanted vegetation.
Key Benefits
- Significantly reduces early-season crop-weed competition during crucial growth stages.
- Highly economical alternative compared to manual or intensive labor-driven weeding.
- Delivers extended residual control to keep fields clean over prolonged periods.
- Enhances overall crop establishment, vigor, and potential harvest yield.
Safety Precautions
- Keep away from food, drink, empty foodstuff containers, and animal feed.
- Avoid contact with the mouth, skin, and eyes, and avoid inhaling spray mists.
- Wear full protective clothing, gloves, and face masks during mixing and application.
- Do not use in areas where aquaculture or pisciculture is practiced alongside rice cultivation.
- Store securely in original sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from children.
