Exirel® Insect Control
Powered by Cyazypyr® active
Help your onion crop realize its
ultimate potential.
Product Information:
Exirel® insect control, powered by Cyazypyr® active, is a foliar-applied
tool to help onion growers produce a strong crop in the field
for a more appealing crop at harvest. Exirel insect control helps
improve crop establishment, allowing plants to better withstand
insect pressure and display more strength and vigor. The results
are healthier plants with fewer disease concerns and extended
productivity, which together deliver high-quality, high-yielding
crops at harvest.
The Benefits of Exirel Insect Control:
Excellent crop protection:
• D elivers cross-spectrum insect control.
• S hown to be effective on both Western flower and onion thrips.
• C an impact multiple life stages, including insect reproduction.
In-season sustainability:
• Features a unique mode of action for sucking pests.
• T he single mode of action in Exirel insect control allows the
flexibility to rotate chemistries for better resistance management.

ONIONS
• D emonstrates moderate to no impact on parasitoids
and predators.
• P rovides extended residual protection of up to 10 days
when applied at a rate of 17-20 fl. oz./A.
• O ffers an optimized formulation for improved leaf
penetration and flexibility of application methods.
• C an be applied via chemigation (fast lap) or
foliar spray. See supplemental label and 2(ee)
recommendation for overhead chemigation.
Favorable environmental profile:
• H as a favorable mammalian toxicological profile.
• Features an improved worker protection
standard profile.
• Allows a short REI and PHI.

Season-long approach to thrips management.
Get outstanding results on season-long thrips numbers
by using Exirel insect control early in the season. Used
early, Exirel insect control demonstrates an increased
ability to reduce season-long thrips populations while
maintaining strong yield in high quality and value
markets. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
Use Exirel insect control early in the season for chemistry
that is non-disruptive to beneficial insects with superior
thrips management. See Fig. 3.
