Acelepryn receives Agrow Award

DuPont’s insecticide was named Best Innovation in the non-crop category.

DuPont Acelepryn insecticide has been honored with the Agrow Award for the Best Innovation in Non-Crop in the turf and ornamental markets. The award was one of three Agrow Awards DuPont received.

This was the first year the Agrow Awards, which recognize excellence in the crop protection and production industry, included Non-Crop as a category. This is the second time the awards have been held since they were established in 2007.  Entries were judged using a wide range of criteria and measured against documents and information submitted to an independent judging panel consisting of a group of senior experts from around the world.

The Agrow Award recognized the introduction of DuPont Acelepryn insecticide and its unique balance of outstanding product efficacy and reduced environmental impact. Classified as reduced-risk by the EPA for application to turfgrass, Acelepryn is helping golf course superintendents and lawn/landscape professionals protect turf from all 10 key turf-damaging white grub species as well as surface-feeding insects such as billbugs, cutworms and other caterpillars.
