Celsius XTRA combines the broadleaf control of Celsius® with the added control of sedges to create one broad-spectrum solution for postemergence weed control. It’s possible to save up to 12.2% with the NOW Solutions program. Tetrino — featuring the new active ingredient tetraniliprole — is now available for purchase in California. It controls white grub, bluegrass billbugs, fallarmy worm, and more. “With the availability of Tetrino, superintendents and lawn care operators in California now have one solution with flexible application timing to control the toughest, turf-damaging insects,” said Dr. Zac Reicher, technical service turfgrass manager – west region of the Bayer U.S. Turf & Ornamentals business. “Other options for managing these pests require multiple products and strict application windows.” In addition to flexible application timing, landscapers and LCOs can incorporate it into other management programs for treating pests like chinch bugs, caterpillars, and billbugs.
