Description

Provaunt Turf Insecticide

Active Ingredient: Indoxacarb @ 200g/kg

Provaunt Turf Insecticide controls Argentine Stem Weevil (ASW) adults and larvae and Lepidoptera grub (lawn grub) larvae in turf. Provaunt targets and destroys adults and larvae, including the critical 3rd and 4th Instars. This powerful, unique chemistry can be used preventatively and curatively to shut down the ASW’s life cycle. 

Provaunt Turf Insecticide not only targets and destroys the lifecycle of Argentine Stem Weevils but also provides highly effective control of both the late-stage larvae and adult stages.

Why choose Provaunt Turf Insecticide:

  • It contains the active ingredient Indoxacarb, a different mode of action for the turf industry (Group 22A).
  • It targets and shuts down the Argentine Stem Weevil life cycle.
  • It is absorbed in the waxy cuticle of plant tissue, providing good residual activity as the larvae and adult feed. 
  • Treated adults stop feeding and die over several days.  
  • It targets and destroys both adults and larvae (only APVMA registration), including the critical third and fourth Instars.
  • Flexibility – formulated with powerful and unique chemistry with preventative and curative action.
  • Allows for the reduction of organophosphate use (e.g. Chlorpyrifos & Diazinon).
  • Improved environmental and HSE profile.
  • Powerful resistance management tool.

What pests does Provaunt Turf Insecticide target:

  • Argentine Stem Weevil larvae and adults (Listronotus bonariensis)
  • Caterpillars including;
    • Black Cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon)
    • Lawn Armyworm (Spodoptera mauritia)

Provaunt Turf Insecticide delivers excellent curative performance, with optimal results achieved when applications are made before population numbers build to damaging levels. For Argentine Stem Weevil adults, applications should be made with the appearance of overwintering adult pests. A second application should be made in early summer to treat adults and stem-feeding larvae. For Lepidoptera grubs, an application should be made as soon as activity is detected.

Provaunt Turf Insecticide contains Indoxacarb in a WG (water-dispersible granule) formulation. Indoxacarb, when ingested by insects, leads to paralysis, which stops feeding and damage, resulting in Argentine Stem Weevil’s death. Provaunt is translaminar, meaning that it lodges in the cells of the turfgrass plants where the insect can ingest it. Importantly. Provaunt will also control contact with various life cycle stages of Argentine Stem Weevil.
