Prodiamine is a selective pre-emergence herbicide primarily used for controlling annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds. It belongs to the dinitroaniline group of herbicides and functions by inhibiting cell division in plants.

Characteristics of Prodiamine:

1. Mode of Action:
   Prodiamine disrupts microtubule formation, preventing cell division and effectively stopping the germination and growth of target weeds.
2. Target Weeds:
   It is effective against various annual grasses, such as crabgrass and foxtail, as well as some broadleaf weeds. However, it does not control established weeds.
3. Selectivity:
   Prodiamine selectively targets specific weed species while leaving desirable turfgrass and ornamental plants unharmed, making it suitable for use in lawns, golf courses, and landscaped areas.
4. Common Uses:
   It is widely used in turf management, ornamental plant production, and landscape maintenance. Prodiamine helps maintain weed-free environments by preventing the germination of new weeds.

Common Formulations:

Granules (GR):
This formulation is easy to apply and provides long-lasting residual control, often used in lawn care and landscape applications.

Wettable Powder (WP):
Typically mixed with water for application, allowing for precise control over application rates, suitable for various treatment methods.

Liquid Concentrate:
Available in liquid form for easy mixing and application, commonly used in professional turf and landscape management.

Pre-mix Products:
Prodiamine is sometimes found in combination with other herbicides to broaden its weed control spectrum, particularly in turf and ornamental applications.
