Description
PEXALON 106 SC – Corteva Agriscience | Advanced Rice Hopper Insecticide with Pyraxalt Active
Revolutionary Hopper Control Powered by Pyraxalt Active
Hopper infestations are among the most destructive insect problems in rice cultivation. Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White-Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH), and Green Leaf Hopper (GLH) feed on plant sap, weaken rice plants, cause hopper burn, and can transmit damaging viral diseases that significantly reduce grain yield and quality. PEXALON 106 SC from Corteva Agriscience is a next-generation systemic rice insecticide powered by Triflumezopyrim (Pyraxalt Active). Featuring a unique IRAC Group 4E mode of action, it provides rapid feeding cessation, excellent knockdown, and up to 21 days of residual protection against major hopper species. Its innovative chemistry makes PEXALON an excellent choice for integrated pest management (IPM) and insecticide resistance management programs, helping farmers protect productive tillers, improve grain filling, and maximize rice yields.Active Ingredient

What is PEXALON 106 SC?
PEXALON 106 SC is an advanced rice insecticide specifically developed for controlling hopper pests that threaten paddy production. Its novel mesoionic chemistry rapidly stops insect feeding, preventing crop damage almost immediately after exposure while providing extended field protection. Because of its unique mode of action, PEXALON is also an effective tool for managing hopper populations that have developed resistance to conventional insecticides.Key Features
Revolutionary Pyraxalt Active Technology
Powered by Triflumezopyrim, an innovative active ingredient developed for superior hopper management.Rapid Feeding Cessation
Stops hopper feeding almost immediately after exposure, minimizing crop damage.Long-Lasting Residual Protection
Provides up to 21 days of effective field protection against hopper infestations.Controls Multiple Hopper Species
Highly effective against both nymphs and adult hoppers across multiple life stages.Effective on Resistant Populations
Excellent performance against hopper populations resistant to older insecticide groups.Supports Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Its favorable environmental profile makes it suitable for use within modern IPM programs.Protects Crop Productivity
Safeguards productive tillers, supports grain filling, and helps maintain higher yields.Key Benefits
Using PEXALON 106 SC helps:- Stop hopper feeding rapidly
- Control resistant hopper populations
- Reduce hopper burn
- Lower virus transmission risk
- Protect productive tillers
- Improve grain filling
- Maintain healthy crop growth
- Deliver long-lasting residual control
- Reduce repeated insecticide applications
- Increase yield potential
Mode of Action
PEXALON contains Triflumezopyrim, a mesoionic insecticide (IRAC Group 4E) that acts as an allosteric nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) desensitizer. After exposure, insects quickly stop feeding as nerve signaling is disrupted. Feeding cessation is followed by paralysis and eventual death, preventing further crop damage while delivering extended residual control. Its unique mode of action differs from conventional neonicotinoids, making it an important component of insecticide resistance management strategies.Target Pests
PEXALON 106 SC effectively controls:- Brown Plant Hopper (BPH)
- White-Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH)
- Green Leaf Hopper (GLH)
- Other hopper species affecting rice crops
Recommended Crop
Suitable for:- Rice (Paddy)
Application Guidelines
For optimum performance:- Apply at the early stage of hopper infestation.
- Best results are achieved between the tillering and panicle initiation stages.
- Ensure thorough and uniform spray coverage.
- Integrate with resistance management programs by rotating with insecticides having different modes of action.
- Follow local label recommendations regarding dosage, spray volume, and application timing.
Best Management Practices
To maximize effectiveness:- Monitor fields regularly for hopper populations.
- Apply before hopper numbers reach economic threshold levels.
- Rotate insecticides with different IRAC groups to delay resistance development.
- Follow Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles.
- Avoid unnecessary repeat applications.
Safety & Storage
- Store in the original sealed container.
- Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
- Protect from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
- Keep away from food, feed, and drinking water.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during handling and spraying.
- Follow all label instructions and local regulations.
