Product Detail

What is Acelepryn Insecticide?

Acelepryn Insecticide is the only insecticidal solution approved for control of leatherjackets and chafer grubs in many turf situations.

Works best preventatively, targeting young larvae before significant damage occurs.

Currently the only approved insecticide for managing these pests in many turf environments.

Effective against multiple species, including:

  • Cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha).
  • Summer Chafer (Amphimallon solstitialis).
  • Welsh Chafer (Hoplia phyllanthus).
  • Garden Chafer (Phyllopertha horticola).
  • Leatherjackets (Tipula spp.).

Can be applied to managed turf areas including:

  • Golf courses.
  • Airfields.
  • Racecourses and gallops.
  • Bowls greens.
  • Commercial and residential lawns.
  • Suitable for sites with known pest pressure or historic infestations.

Approved for use by trained professionals only.

Call (0330 165 5568) to speak with a BASIS-qualified adviser about suitability for your situation.

Note: If applying with a hand-held sprayer, you need PA1 and PA6 qualifications. Both are available in our training courses.

 

* Always follow the Usage guide and Aftercare advice

0.6L per Hectare

  • Mow the area before treatment to ensure the product reaches the soil.
  • Apply using appropriate professional spray equipment following the label.
  • Only one application per year permitted.
  • Best used preventatively before infestations cause serious damage. Acelepryn only controls young larvae; larger grubs will not be controlled.

Timing must coincide with peak pest activity:

  • Chafer grubs: Apply shortly after peak adult flight, typically June.
  • Leatherjackets: Adult crane fly activity may peak mid-October. Confirm peak flight before applying.
  • Areas with previous infestations are more likely to face re-infestation. Monitor activity and record sightings on Pest Tracker: syngentaturf.co.uk/turf-pest-tracker.
  • Irrigate treated turf after application to wash the active ingredient into the soil and attract larvae to the surface.
  • On dry or hydrophobic soils, pre-treat with Amvista Soil Soaker Wetting Agent to improve absorption.
  • Maintain a 5-metre buffer zone from water bodies.
  • Always follow label guidance and local regulations for safe and compliant use.

After using Acelepryn Insecticide – Leatherjacket and Chafer Grub Control, follow all label recommendations, clean equipment thoroughly, and monitor the treated area to ensure the product has performed as expected.
