Protect Your Course With Durentis Insecticide
FMC’s Durentis insecticide is a new product that provides season-long control over turf-chewing insects, including all 13 species of grubs and fall armyworms. In addition to broad-spectrum control, due to its high concentration, Durentis can provide season-long protection in one application. This can greatly simplify pest management for superintendents and free up time and resources for other projects around the course.
More About Durentis Insecticide
Durentis contains chlorantraniliprole (47.85%), a new proprietary active ingredient developed by FMC. It has no signal word, providing peace of mind for superintendents looking to protect pollinators and beneficial insects. In addition to turf, Durentis can be applied to ornamentals for control over leaf-feeding insects like bagworms.
Durentis works quickly to establish a zone of protection around plant roots, and as a systemic, it enters the plant quickly (via upward translocation) with minimal irrigation.

Its high concentration offers low use rates; Depending on the target insect(s), use 0.016-0.153 fluid ounces of Durentis per thousand square feet.
