  • Post-emergence activity: Pexalon is a post-emergence herbicide, which means that it is applied to grasses that have already emerged from the soil.
  • Rapid absorption and translocation: Pexalon is rapidly absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout the grass, providing rapid and effective control.
  • Rainfastness: Pexalon is rainfast within 1 hour of application, ensuring that it remains effective even if it rains.
