ABW Guarantee | ABW control webinar | Ference testimonial videos 

Syngenta is committed to providing the tools, education and guarantee for season-long control of Annual Bluegrass Weevils (ABW).

As ABW season is winding down, consider the following tips:

• You can get guaranteed control of ABW by following the WeevilTrak℠ Annual Bluegrass Weevil Guarantee 
• Growing degree days and phenological indicators are useful guides for tracking life stages, but cannot replace the importance of scouting for determining thresholds 
• While there are some general similarities among ABW development, each geography tends to be different as to when it first appears and the level of turf injury caused  
• Insect larval stages are a critical piece of information when choosing a product for treatment  
• Mowing and irrigation play a vital role in determining the success of a treatment application 
• Resistance management will continue to be an integral part of management programs now and into the future 
• Sign up for WeevilTrak and/or text messaging alerts to be informed of timing and application recommendations 

 

• 63% of respondents said they look to control grubs when making an ABW insecticide application, followed by 38% looking to control turf caterpillars. 
• 43% of respondents make their last ABW application of the season in August or later in recent years.
• 61% of respondents said that WeevilTrak is one of the top three tools they rely on to monitor ABW.
