Acelepryn is unique in that it has no known adverse effects on beneficial and non-target organisms including earthworms and honey bees. In addition, Acelepryn is registered by the Environmental Protection Agency under its Reduced Risk Program.2 80% of surveyed golf course superintendents said it is important to them/their members that Acelepryn insecticide has no signal word and no adverse effects on beneficial and non-target organisms including honey bees.1
4. How does Acelepryn fit into the WeekvilTraksm Annual Bluegrass Weevil monitoring program?
Acelepryn is a critical component of an effective, long-term strategy to control annual bluegrass weevil (ABW). Acelepryn is often one of the first products out each year, controlling ABW small larvae that feed inside grass stems. This same application often eliminates the need for subsequent grub and caterpillar applications. When rotated with Ference® and Provaunt® WDG insecticides, superintendents get GUARANTEED control of this difficult pest with the WeevilTrak ABW guarantee.
