ZYLAM™ 20SG Turf Insecticide Receives EPA Registration
October 2010
PBI/Gordon Corporation has received EPA registration for their
new Zylam™ 20SG Systemic Turf Insecticide. Zylam 20SG, which
contains dinotefuran, is a soluble granule labeled for key turf
insect pests such as chinch bugs, annual bluegrass weevils, crane
flies and mole crickets. State registrations for the product are
complete and availability is expected in January 2011.
“We
are very excited about Zylam and our opportunity to have a strong
insecticidal product with the latest generation neonictinoid chemistry,” says
Jim Goodrich, Product Sales Specialist for PBI/Gordon’s Turf
and Ornamental Products Group. “It is highly soluble which
allows for rapid plant uptake and quick translocation throughout
the vascular tissue; protecting the entire plant from hard-to-control
turf insects. When you need to control those damaging insects, you
need ‘muscle in your tank’ – you need Zylam!”
Zylam
20SG will be available to customers in January 2011. A liquid formulation
labeled for tree and shrub insect pests will be available summer
2011. It will control a wide range of pests including: armored and
solf scale and lacebug, whiteflies, thrips, emerald ash borer and
caterpillars.
