Corteva Pexalon Insecticide (Triflumezopyrim 10% SC)

The Ultimate Shield Against Paddy Hopperburn

The Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) is the most destructive pest in rice farming, multiplying rapidly at the base of the plant to suck out the sap, ultimately causing the crop to dry up and collapse—a condition known as “Hopperburn.” Pexalon introduces a revolutionary Mesoionic chemistry. The moment a hopper contacts or ingests Pexalon, its nervous system is disrupted. It instantly loses the ability to feed, preventing any further sap loss or viral disease transmission in your paddy fields.

Why Top Rice Farmers Rely on Pexalon for BPH Control:

• Immediate Stop-Feed Action: Hoppers stop feeding almost instantly upon exposure, halting agricultural crop damage on day one.
• Unmatched Long-Lasting Protection: While older chemicals require multiple sprays, a single application of Pexalon provides continuous, reliable hopper control for up to 21 to 24 days.
• Breaks Chemical Resistance: Features a completely unique mode of action that effectively eradicates hoppers that have built immunity to older neonicotinoid insecticides.
• Environmentally & IPM Friendly: Highly targeted formulation that aggressively eliminates destructive hoppers while remaining exceptionally safe for beneficial predatory spiders and insects in the paddy ecosystem.
• Prevents Hopperburn Completely: Applied at the right time, it ensures the crop stays healthy through the critical panicle emergence and grain-filling stages, securing maximum grain weight.

Agricultural Usage & Application Guidelines

• Recommended Dosage: Use exactly 94 ml of Pexalon per acre for optimum hopper control.
• Preparation: Shake the Suspension Concentrate (SC) bottle thoroughly before use. Mix the 94 ml dose in a small amount of clean water, then pour it into a 150-200 liter spray tank for uniform one-acre coverage.
• Application Method: Apply as a directed foliar spray using a knapsack sprayer. Crucial Tip: Direct the spray nozzle towards the basal (bottom) portion of the paddy plant, near the water level, as this is where BPH populations breed and hide.
• Application Timing: Apply at the first sign of hopper emergence (when hoppers reach the Economic Threshold Level) or during the critical booting/panicle emergence stage (usually 45-60 days after transplanting).
• Safety Precautions: Always wear comprehensive Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including protective masks, gloves, and eyewear while mixing and spraying. Keep away from children and livestock.
