FMC received federal registration enabling the commercial launch of Durentis insecticide. According to the company, the formulation provides golf course superintendents season-long protection from above- and below-ground chewing pests, including all species of grubs and fall armyworms.

FMC announced the official launch will occur at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in Phoenix, Ariz., from Jan. 29-Feb. 1.

According to FMC, Durentis is a highly concentrated formulation of the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole with the lowest use rates in the diamide class of chemistry and requires a single application for season-long control. Durentis is fast-acting and provides a zone of protection around the roots. Its systemic properties allow upward translocation. These physical properties allow Durentis to quickly move into the turf – protecting it without the need for excessive irrigation, according to FMC.

“Customer input led to the development of Durentis,” Mike Sisti, FMC North America marketing manager, said. “Ongoing customer conversations and collaboration with FMC’s (research and development) team guided the development of this new tool for well-maintained golf courses.”
