Abstract/Contents: | "PendulumĀ® AquaCapā¢ is a water- based capsule suspension of pendimethalin recently approved for use in turf, ornamentals and other non-crop uses for preemergence weed control. AquaCap contains 3.8 lbs active ingredient per gallon as a microencapsulated formulation. This formulation is characterized by a thin polymer capsule that surrounds the aqueous active ingredient. Capsules remain intact during loading, mixing and application and will then rupture as a result of wetting/drying and heating/cooling cycles. In 2001 and 2002 field tests were conducted to compare AquaCap to other pendimethalin formulations for efficacy, tolerance as well as handling and spraying characteristics. Results from research trials conducted throughout the US,showed that AquaCap controlled crabgrass (Digitaria spp.) at a level equal to or better than other pendimethalin formulations. Pendulum AquaCap outperformed other pendimethalin formulations in 23 of 29 trials. Applications were made at rates of 1.5 lb ai/A or 2.0 lb ai/A in northern locations and 1.5 + 1.5 lb ai/A or 3.0 lb ai/A in transitional and southern locations. In locations where split application treatments (1.5 lb ai/A + 1.5 ai/A) were compared to single treatments (3.0 lb ai/A), crabgrass control was greatest with split applications. Turf and ornamental tolerance for AquaCap was found to be similiar to other pendimethalin formulations. Separate tests were also conducted to determine staining of off-target surfaces following application at labeled use rates. Comparisons were made between the Pendulum 3.3 EC formulation and Pendulum AquaCap on a variety of surfaces, which included concrete, PVC fencing and vinyl siding. Intensity of stain and ability to rinse off at 1, 4, and 24 hours post treatment were evaluated. In all cases, Pendulum AquaCap displayed less initial staining and enhanced ability to wash off after initial treatment." |
