New dual-action insecticides from Nufarm deliver broad-spectrum control of soil, surface and nuisance pests across turf and ornamental markets
Nufarm has expanded its insecticide portfolio with EPA registrations of OpteraPro® DUO LC and OpteraPro® DUO GC. The unique dual-active formulation combines contact and systemic activity to help turf and ornamental professionals manage a broad spectrum of destructive soil-dwelling and surface-feeding pests as well as nuisance insects such as ants, ticks and fleas.
“As pest pressure evolves across market settings and time constraints remain a key management factor, OpteraPro DUO insecticides offer a convenient, economical and effective single-application solution for a broad spectrum of pests.”
— Jamie Heydinger, Lawn Care Segment Lead, Nufarm
OpteraPro® DUO LC and OpteraPro® DUO GC combine the proven performance of chlorantraniliprole and bifenthrin to deliver both fast-acting and long-lasting control of surface and subsurface insect pests. While the formulation technology is the same, each brand is labeled to support professional use requirements:
- OpteraPro DUO LC is a non-restricted-use option for lawn, landscape and sports turf.
- OpteraPro DUO GC is the restricted use pesticide (RUP) label for golf, greenhouse and nursery professionals.
Nufarm is supporting this introduction with limited-time introductory launch offer for OpteraPro DUO brands.
OpteraPro DUO LC gives lawn care operators the flexibility to effectively target surface turf pests such as caterpillars, billbugs and chinch bugs, as well as soil pests like white grubs and mole crickets. It also controls more than 39 ornamental pests in landscape settings and eliminates nuisance insects including ants, ticks, fleas, earwigs, centipedes, mealy bugs, crickets, spiders, and more.
For commercial greenhouse and nurseries growers, OpteraPro DUO GC halts damage and provides systemic protection from foliar pests like aphids, beetles (including flea beetle), borers, caterpillars, clearwing, fungus gnats, lace bugs, moths, mites, scales, thrips, weevils, whitefly and soil-dwelling white grubs, pillbugs, and centipedes.
