Albaugh has received U.S. Environmental Protection Agency end-use registration for chlorantraniliprole products in turf and ornamental markets as well as others in crop protection. Chlorantraniliprole has quickly become an important tool for the management of Lepidopteran pests, with no known adverse effects on beneficials. As a result, Albaugh plans to launch its new Diamid T&O product in 2025.
Diamid T&O (EPA Reg. No. 89442-70) aims to deliver season-long control of destructive turf pests, including all white grub and many turf- and leaf-feeding caterpillar species, as well as annual bluegrass weevils and billbugs, with outstanding application flexibility.
“Diamid T&O represent(s) outstanding value for Albaugh customers across row crop, specialty crop and turf and ornamental markets,” said Douglas Kaye, president – North America Region. “These alternatives deliver the same level of long-lasting, high- performing insect control with minimal impact on beneficial insects that customers have come to expect from their name-brand counterparts. These offerings are supported by Albaugh’s investments in developing an independent source of the active ingredient, further demonstrating Albaugh’s continued commitment to bringing high-quality, competitively priced alternatives for our customers across the U.S.”
The registration will also see Albaugh release two other products — Exceliprole 400SC (EPA Reg. No. 83100-77) and Eventex 400SC (EPA Reg. No. 83100-77) — aimed at controlling Lepidopteran pests in the crop protection markets.
