Ference® insecticide is targeted to control all larval stages (one through five) of annual bluegrass weevil (ABW).
Ference® insecticide contains the active ingredient, cyantraniliprole, which will raise the bar on season-long control of ABW (annual bluegrass weevil). Since Ference systemically controls all larval stages, it provides superintendents greater flexibility later in the year when ABW populations are asynchronous. Ference offers a longer residual control than competitive products, and will provide increased and extended control of ABW through the enhanced Syngenta Optimum Control Strategy, found on WeevilTrak.com. Ference also controls billbugs, European crane flies, white grubs, turf caterpillars and suppresses chinch bugs.

PPE required for Applicators, Mixers or Loaders:
PPE required for Early-Entry Workers:
Insecticide Treatment Program: 1st Generation Stage 1 - Overwintered Adults: Scimitar ® GC insecticide 10 fl. oz./A Timing: Application is based on Growing Degree Days (GDD) and ABW activity. Some areas may require two applications spaced 14 days apart. Early to mid-April Forsythia half green half gold
Insecticide Treatment Program: 1st Generation Stage 2 - Early Instar (inside of stem): Acelepryn ® insecticide 12 fl. oz./A Timing: Application should be applied prior to egg hatch to ensure Acelepryn is in the transpiration stream prior to larvae feeding. Late April to early May Dogwood full bloom
Insecticide Treatment Program: 1st Generation Stage 3 - Late Instar (outside of stem): Ference insecticide 12 fl. oz./A Timing: Application should be applied when the third stage larvae exit the stem to feed on the crown and surface roots. Mid-May to early June Rhododendron catawbiensis full bloom

How Important is the Timing of your ABW Applications? (0:56)
Powered by the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole, Acelepryn® insecticide provides excellent, season-long grub control with a single (8-16 fl oz/A) application in April or May. But Acelepryn is more than just outstanding grub control. That same application for grubs will control many key surface feeding pests including several species of caterpillars as well as annual bluegrass weevil (ABW). For ABW, apply 12–20 fl oz/A, which will provide an even broader spectrum of effective control.
European crane flies, annual bluegrass weevil (ABW), turf caterpillars (including armyworms, cutworms and sod webworms) and mole crickets all pose a significant threat to turf. Provaunt® WDG insecticide controls all of these pests and more to protect your turf and landscape ornamentals.
The proprietary formulation technology of Scimitar® insecticide encapsulates the active ingredient, lambda-cyhalothrin, in small polymer capsules to protect it from the degrading effects of pH, sunlight and UV light. The result is superior control of insects in turf and ornamentals even after extended outdoor exposure.
