DuPont Acelepryn Granular Insecticide is for the systemic control of white grubs and other pests infesting landscape and recreational turfgrass (including golf courses) as well as landscape ornamentals, interior plantscapes and sod farms.
Introduced to the green industry in 2008, DuPont Acelepryn insecticides provide lawn care professionals and golf course superintendents reliable and consistent grub control. But Acelepryn is more than just outstanding grub control. Acelepryn® also controls many key surface feeding pests including annual bluegrass weevils, billbugs and caterpillars.
DuPont Acelepryn is the only turf product in Group 28, the anthranilic diamides. This is the latest insecticide class recognized by IRAC (Insecticide Resistance Action Committee). It features a novel mode of action that impacts the insect’s muscles. In addition to the distinct mode of action, Acelepryn is setting standards in environmental and toxicological areas.
