Great Question from Jonathan on twitter today. The timing of Acelepryn is key to getting success out of the product but with the Emergency Authorisation deadline looming!. I’ve put a quick 4 minute video to try and explain best practice. Ok so here goes: Key to success is to maximise the period of exposure of…

September 2019. We are now entering the beginning of the big Cranefly hatch season. The last two weeks have seen the Cranefly sightings beginning to increase. During the summer months we saw a slow trickle of sightings on the Syngenta Pest Tracker but I feel we are now entering the beginning of the big hatch…

It’s highly likely that you’re sat on your Acelepryn right now looking for the late summer Cranefly hatch. Improving your application of this product will help you get the very best out of this product and we’ve put together a number of tips to help you with that. Apply preventatively – our studies show that…

The Emergency Authorisation for the use of the Syngenta insecticide, Acelepryn, for the control of chafer grubs and leatherjacket was reapproved for the 2019 season. Get the most from every application of Acelepryn – find out how here. Leatherjackets can cause damage to turf through extensive feeding on roots, which can be severe in localised…

As we push past Mid August it’s time to start monitoring Cranefly hatches. Using PestTracker we got some great information about the Spring Cranefly hatch and we begun to see the value of this data gathering exercise to help us give the Turf industry really good advice. PestTracker has had slow trickle of Cranefly sightings…

If you’d asked me two years ago when I saw the annual swarm of Cranefly I’d have said “August”. Ask me that same question now and I’ll give you a much longer, complex (and probably much duller) answer than that! Talking to many Turf Managers, I think as an industry we’re a little caught up…

I’ve spent the last couple of days at Goring and Streatley golf club filming for a piece we’re putting together about application techniques. (watch this space – I may get my first BAFTA for this one!) It was great to spend a couple of days on a golf course (although my rose tinted spectacles were…

You’ll remember that most sightings of our winged friends, chafer grubs have been around the South of England, as the heat map below shows. This week we have had a few sightings of Welsh Chafer logged on the Syngenta PestTracker around the Colchester and Cambridge area. This isn’t a significant shift in area but could…

One of the questions I’m getting regularly asked at the moment is “I haven’t seen any chafers yet this year, should I still apply Acelepryn and if so when should I apply it?” The sightings for chafers on the Syngenta PestTracker have now slowed down and I would expect all chafers now to be fully…

Your input is invaluable… Yes I’m going to start this with an unashamed plea for more help. Our chafer and cranefly Pest Tracker is, as far as I can tell the first data gathering exercise of it’s type. Whether you have an issue with these pests or not, please log your sightings on the Syngenta…
