Syngenta announced its latest insect control innovation, Acelepryn Xtra insecticide, is now available for use on lawns, athletic fields and golf courses. Acelepryn Xtra has been engineered with two modes of action and the active ingredients chlorantraniliprole and thiamethoxam to provide broader-spectrum, season-long control of grubs, billbugs and caterpillars, as well as enhanced control of chinch bugs and added control of ants.
“We’re excited about the enhanced, broader-spectrum insect control turf managers will get from Acelepryn Xtra,” says Carson Cashwell, market manager for lawn care at Syngenta. “It’s an incredible value, especially when purchased as part of the Double Up Bonus during the GreenTrust 365 Early Order Period, as well as with its 10% volume discount.”
With its two active ingredients, Acelepryn Xtra offers turf managers more control and a wider application window than the original Acelepryn. In addition to season-long control of grubs, billbugs and turf caterpillars, Acelepryn Xtra offers early curative grub control through the second instar. It is also labelled for ant control and provides enhanced chinch bug control, with at least three months of southern chinch bug control. Acelepryn Xtra powers the GreenTrust 365 Grub, Billbug and Caterpillar Prevention Guarantee and the GreenTrust 365 St. Augustinegrass Guarantee programs for lawn care, which provide additional value to help reduce callbacks.
“Turf managers historically have had to make multiple insecticide applications throughout the year to get the length and spectrum of control they need,” explains Matt Giese, M.S., technical services manager for turf at Syngenta. “Acelepryn Xtra has an even wider application window and controls more pests than Acelepryn, reducing the number of applications needed. This makes Acelepryn Xtra a convenient, smart choice for effective agronomic programs.”

Additionally, With the launch of Compendium fungicide from Syngenta, lawn care operators will have a new tool to help manage all of the most common turfgrass diseases.
Compendium combines azoxystrobin and propiconazole in a strong formulation for broad-spectrum disease control from a single, more effective formulation. This will eliminate the stress of disease identification and the need to mix with other products to control all major turfgrass diseases on cool- and warm-season turf, including:
- Brown patch
- Dollar spot
- Fairy ring
- Gray leaf spot
- Gray snow mold
- Large patch
- Leaf spots
- Microdochium patch
- Necrotic ring spot
- Pink snow mold
- Spring dead spot
- Southern blight
- Summer patch
- Red thread

Compendium will also help improve overall turf quality, leading to thicker, greener, noticeably more beautiful lawns, and most importantly, happier customers.
“Syngenta is invested in providing effective and value-driven solutions that can help lawn care companies grow,” Cashwell says “Compendium will allow them to build broad-spectrum disease control into their service offerings to provide customers with even more beautiful and healthier lawns throughout the summer. Additionally, lawn care companies can purchase 60 gallons of Compendium and receive a 15% volume discount.”
Compendium is designed to fit the agronomic and economic needs of lawn care companies by simplifying disease control and enhancing profitability with the convenience of a single product. For more information, visit GreenCastOnline.com/Compendium.
