    How it works:

    The best from a name you can trust.

    Poncho is a namesake with a legendary track record. Now that name is taking on the aphids, hessian flies and grasshoppers that won’t step foot on your cereal grain fields. 

    Whole Plant Protection

    Clothianidin (Poncho XC's active ingredient) is immediately efficacious within emerging roots and aboveground growth to protect from early season damaging insect pests.​

    Less pests, healthier roots

    Allows for stronger, healthier roots. Leading to more vigor, stronger stands and better, healthier yields.
