A one-two punch against yield-robbing pestsWhy risk lower yields by relying on GMO pest control alone? Hero® insecticide offers the reliable backup you need in tough multi-pest situations with outstanding broad-spectrum control of 45 labeled insects in corn and soybeans.

A patented combination of actives delivers the one-two punch of a fast knockdown and a long-lasting residual. In corn, Hero insecticide is a mainline defense against Western bean cutworms, corn rootworm adults and Japanese beetles. In soybeans, it not only controls spider mites at high rates but also prevents post-application flaring unlike other pyrethroids and insect classes. Its versatility offers something for nearly every grower.

For the everyday edge on plant health and yields, Hero insecticide has your back.
