Pendimethalin is a preemergent herbicide used to prevent crabgrass from germinating. It inhibits cell division and cell elongation. It must be "watered in" so that the chemical reaches the seeds deep in the soil.

Pendimethalin was included in a biocide ban proposed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency ^[2] and approved by the European Parliament on January 13, 2009.^[3]
