FMC said it is in the final launch stages of its new Durentis insecticide, an 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, according to the company. FMC said the new insecticide is fast-acting and will provide a zone of protection around the roots along with systemic properties for upward translocation.
“Durentis is the direct result of turf customer input,” said Mike Sisti, FMC’s North America marketing manager. “FMC’s research and development 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.”
The company said Durentis will move into turf quickly without the need for excessive irrigation.
