Syngenta Acelepryn G 25Lb (64/Pl) ( chlorantraniliprole )

Syngenta Acelepryn G is a granular insecticide that provides season-long control of grubs and surface-feeding pests in one application. It operates quietly and safely and integrates well into contemporary pest‑management programs.

How It Works

Acelepryn® G acts on the muscles of insects as follows:

1. The granules break down with moisture, freeing up the chlorantraniliprole into the dirt.
2. The active ingredient is absorbed by roots of the turf grass and is then transported to the leaves and stems.
3. After pests feed on treated turf, the chemical acts on their ryanodine receptors. This puts the brakes on muscle function, and pests stop feeding and die.
4. The active ingredient remains effective in the plant for several months, providing lasting control without repeat applications.
