BASF Pendulum 2G is a pre-emergent herbicide formulated as a granular product for the control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. It contains 2% Pendimethalin, a dinitroaniline herbicide that inhibits microtubule assembly (HRAC Group 3), preventing root and shoot development in germinating weeds. This product provides residual control of over 45 weed species and must be applied prior to weed germination, as it does not control established weeds.
