FMC is currently in the final stages of the commercial launch of Durentis insecticide, a proprietary insecticide focused on season-long protection from above- and below-ground chewing pests, including all 13 species of grubs and Fall Armyworms.
Durentis is a highly concentrated formulation, offering low-use rates and requiring a single application for season long control. Durentis is fast acting, providing a zone of protection around the roots along with systemic properties allowing for upward translocation. The physical properties allow Durentis to move into turf quickly without the need for excessive irrigation.
“Durentis is the direct result of turf customer input,” said Mike Sisti, FMC’s North America marketing manager. “FMC’s R&D team is made up of more than 800 scientists and associates guiding robust discovery and development pipelines. We anticipate federal registration of Durentis in late 2023.”
