Atexzo is classified in IRAC Group 30 to control annual bluegrass weevils, mole crickets, bermudagrass mites and more. 

Syngenta announced today its latest innovation, Atexzo^® insecticide/miticide, powered by PLINAZOLIN^® technology, has been federally registered by the Environmental Protection Agency for use on golf courses, sod farms and athletic turf. State registrations are actively being pursued and are anticipated to be available soon. Product is expected to be available in Q1 2026. 

Atexzo works through contact and ingestion and is powered by a new mode of action in IRAC Group 30 that has no known resistance or cross-resistance to other insecticides. It delivers outstanding efficacy and flexibility by controlling adults and all larval/nymphal stages of key insect species, including mole crickets, annual bluegrass weevils (ABW), bermudagrass mites, billbugs, European crane flies, flea beetles, turf caterpillars, mole crickets and more. It is also an ideal tank mix partner with Acelepryn^® and Acelepryn Xtra insecticides for comprehensive insect control and greater resistance management. 

“After more than 250 turf trials, Atexzo has proven its safety and long-lasting control against the most destructive turf insects, giving turf managers greater efficiency while achieving exceptional results,” said Lisa Beirn, Ph.D., technical services manager for turf in the Northeast at Syngenta. “For ABW, Atexzo will control adults and larvae, which extends the application window for targeting the overwintering generation. It will also be the foundation of the new WeevilTrak^℠ Plus program that will greatly simplify how superintendents manage this pest.” 

In southern regions, Atexzo will be a new solution to control mole crickets including adults and small-to-large nymphs. Applications can be watered-in up to 24 hours later, require no special equipment and have no re-entry interval. Beyond mole crickets, Atexzo also controls billbugs and bermudagrass mites. 

“We’ve seen excellent activity on Southern insects like mole crickets and bermudagrass mites that are difficult to control with existing product options,” explains Lane Tredway, Ph.D., technical services manager for turf in the Southeast at Syngenta. “I think superintendents will really be pleased with the results of our extensive trials and the performance they will see on their own courses.”
