Bayer announces new insect control solution is available for purchase

The Turf and Ornamentals business of Bayer has announced Tetrino, which features the new active ingredient tetraniliprole, is available for purchase. The technology in Tetrino unlocks a new approach for white grub and annual bluegrass weevil control with one complete, flexible solution. 

 

“At Bayer, we know superintendents are always striving for the best, so we are thrilled to bring them Tetrino,” said Dr. Brad Glenn, product manager for the U.S. Turf and Ornamentals business. “Other options for managing white grub and annual bluegrass weevil on golf courses require multiple products and strict application windows. Tetrino gives superintendents an advantage because it is one complete solution with flexible application timing that provides season-long control of both these problem insects as well as caterpillars, billbugs and a host of other turf-damaging pests.” 

 

Tetrino works quickly to control these problem insects. Absorbed through the roots and shoots of the turf, tetraniliprole causes immediate cessation of insect feeding following exposure for fast results.

 

Tetrino is designed to make white grub and annual bluegrass weevil control as easy as possible for superintendents. In addition to flexible application timing, superintendents can incorporate it into other management programs for treating pests like chinch bugs, caterpillars and billbugs. Tetrino is also priced so superintendents can cover more ground on the golf course, including fairways. 

 

“There is no other product on the market like Tetrino,” Glenn said. “It solves a long-standing problem and is something every superintendent should use to help achieve their personal best on the course.”

 

For a limited time, Bayer is providing a special introductory offer for Tetrino. Customers who purchase four or more bottles of the new insecticide will receive a premium precision pocketknife through Sept. 30 or while supplies last.
