DuPont Acelepryn Insecticide is an entirely new insecticide class with a novel mode of action. Studies prove that it delivers superior results with the lowest application rate (lb ai/acre) ever utilized for white grub control.

• Controls every key turf-damaging white grub species
• Controls many pests with a single application
• New class of chemistry
• Novel mode of action
• Superior toxicological and environmental profile
• Classified as reduced-risk by the United States EPA
• Low application rate
• Low water solubility

Since 2003, leading entomologists throughout the United States have evaluated DuPont™ Acelepryn™ for turf and ornamental insect control. In that time, nearly 500 field trial protocols with independent university researchers have demonstrated that Acelepryn™ is effective against every major turf-damaging white grub species. In particular, studies show that Acelepryn™ :

• Delivers flexibility in application timing, as well as the lowest application rate (0.1 lb ai/acre) ever utilized for white grub control
• Controls other important turf insects, including annual bluegrass weevil, billbugs and caterpillars
• Provides long residual control of key turf pests
• Can be used as a foliar, soil or bark treatment for ornamental insect control

Acelepryn™ Insecticide is Effective Against All Key Turf-Damaging White Grub Species

Multiple trials from 2004 to 2007 prove that Acelepryn™ insecticide is effective at controlling turf-damaging white grubs.

Trials were conducted by leading entomologists in numerous independent university field trials across the country. There was a wide range of application dates, and 95%-100% control was achieved for every white grub species tested in these trials.
