When planthoppers infest a rice field, the damage is visible: patches of yellowing crops that can eventually turn into wide swaths of wilted, brown, unharvestable plants. This is known as “hopper burn.”

Pexalon™ insecticide with Pyraxalt™ active can change that picture for farmers’ fields and their harvests. With rapid and long-lasting protection against planthoppers, Pexalon is giving farmers results they can see and appreciate.

This visual guide illustrates just a few of the benefits of Pexalon farmers can see firsthand in the field and upon yield at harvest.
