FMC launches Durentis

FMC Corporation has received federal registration enabling the commercial launch of Durentis insecticide. This proprietary formulation provides lawn care operators and golf course superintendents season-long protection from above and below ground chewing pests, including all species of grubs and Fall Armyworms. FMC announced the upcoming availability of the new insecticide at various lawn care events in 2023. However, the official launch will occur at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona, from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, 2024.

Durentis is a highly concentrated formulation of the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole with the lowest use rates in the diamide class of chemistry and requires a single application for season-long control. It is fast acting and provides a zone of protection around the roots, and its systemic properties allow upward translocation. These unique physical properties allow Durentis to quickly move into the turf – protecting it without the need for excessive irrigation.

“Customer input led to the development of Durentis,” says Mike Sisti, FMC North America marketing manager. “Ongoing customer conversations and collaboration with FMC’s R&D team guided the development of this new tool for well-maintained lawns and golf courses.”

FMC’s comprehensive portfolio of fungicides, herbicides and insecticides provides turf and ornamental growers, golf and lawn care professionals, as well as pest management professionals, with differentiated solutions designed to help promote healthy turf and plant growth, while efficiently controlling pests.
