Bayer’s New Insecticide – Tetrino INTERNAL USE ONLY
Tetrino is a new systemic insecticide from Bayer in the anthranilic diamide class of chemistry (IRAC Group 28). Like other diamides (Acelepryn, Ference) Tetrino has a broad spectrum of activity on important insect pests of turf including white grubs, ABW, caterpillars and others. Some key features and how to use Tetrino below: • Grub Control: Tetrino controls all major grub species on turf when applied between May – August. Tetrino is flexible and can be applied both preventively as well as in early curative situations for 1st-2nd instar white grubs in the late summer. o Use rate - 32 oz/Acre for season-long control (water-in with at least 0.25” for optimal results) o Single application - best applied in June or July (when adult beetles are present) o Split applications – when applying for early season pests like billbugs and cutworms a split app of Tetrino can be made with: - 16 oz/A in May - 16 oz/A in July (water-in) • ABW Control: Tetrino has shown to be a top performer on ABW larvae in university trials with good efficacy even on L4 and L5 stage larvae. o Use rate - 32 oz/A recommended, especially in high pressure areas o First gen larvae timing - for best results, target early-mid stage larvae (early to mid-May in most areas) o Second gen larvae timing - usually late June to mid-July o No watering in required • Caterpillar Control: Tetrino has shown excellent control of key lepidoptera pests like black cutworms, sod webworms, and fall armyworms. o Use rate – 32 oz/A is recommended for up to 60 days of caterpillar control and for broad spectrum insect control across the golf course o Timing – species dependent, but most applications will start in the early spring or when pest outbreaks are first observed o No watering in required • Affordable Innovation: Tetrino is priced for fairway acreage and is intended for broader use around the golf course and other turf areas. o Price: $100/Acre at 32 oz rate o At half the cost of Ference and ~25% lower cost than Acelepryn, Tetrino can be used to protect more acres with a premium, broad spectrum insecticide. This means: - Better insect population management - Less breakthrough or subsequent generations occurring due to selective treatment - More flexibility to incorporate multiple applications across the season (up to 64 fl oz/A per year allowed). Thus, eliminating the need for “exact” timing, especially for ABW applications. Tale of the Tape Tetrino is the complete solution
