SpraySURE | Accuracy and Performance

To achieve great results, accurate application is important.

MERIDIAN is particularly active against the 1st and 2nd instar larvae of the most destructive turf infesting grub species. The window for application should thus be positioned around the peak egg laying period by adult beetles. This timing can be monitored by the increasing activity of adult beetles, usually during spring and early summer.

Example: African Black Beetle egg laying traditionally peaks around October whereas that of the Argentinian Scarab peaks around November to early December. An application at 1.2 kg/ha before the peak occurs should be sufficient to ensure high levels of grub control for up to 3 months.
