Pendimethalin is a dinitroaniline compound (N-[1-ethylpropyl]-3,4-dimethyl-2,6-dinitrobenzenamine).
It is an orange-yellow dye and stains hair and vinyl floor coverings green.
Pendimethalin is also used to control grasses and weeds in field crops
It acts as a microtubule disruptor by inhibiting cell division and cell elongation in plants, and is generally applied early in the growing season (US EPA, 2007).
Pendimethalin has been shown to causes severe oxidative stress. Oxidative stress could lead to further damage to cell membrane proteins, which ultimately results in destruction of membrane protein function and fluidity . . .
