Scheduling grub control treatments for a golf course can be demanding. Traditionally, the key to white grub control was to apply midsummer, and then it changed to early spring applications. With Acelepryn^® Xtra insecticide from Syngenta, superintendents can make their own flexible treatment schedule to achieve season-long control with just one application.

If May works – great! Can’t get to it until July? No problem. Acelepryn Xtra has the widest application window and the longest residual control for white grubs in the industry. It also provides excellent turf caterpillar and billbug control, offering a broad spectrum for anything else that crawls along. Congrats! You’ve just earned an “Xtra” day off. 

A wider spectrum of insect control

Acelepryn Xtra is a combination of Acelepryn and Meridian^® brand insecticides, ​​​​​​​so it’s powered by two active ingredients and modes of action to deliver long-lasting, broad-spectrum insect control. Combining IRAC group 28and IRAC group 4A also makes Acelepryn Xtra a great resistance management tool since it offers an alternate mode of action to pyrethroid chemistries.

With this combination product, superintendents can enjoy:

• Season-long control of grubs, billbugs and caterpillars with one application
  • Get guaranteed control with the GreenTrust 365 Grub, Billbug and Caterpillar Prevention Guarantee
• Early curative control of grubs, leading to greater flexibility and fewer applications
• Enhanced chinch bug control, including at least three months of southern chinch bug control
  • For guaranteed control of chinch bugs download the GreenTrust 365 St. Augustinegrass Lawncare Guarantee Program
• European crane fly and ant control with reduced ant mounding
  • Download the Acelepryn Xtra Ant Control Bulletin for more on ant control
