KANSAS CITY — PBI/Gordon added ImidiPro Systemic Insecticide to its Gordon's Professional Turf and Ornamental Product line.

Imidiclorpid, the active ingredient, combats pests that attack turfgrass and ornamentals.

"Imidacloprid has been the premier product in professional insect control since it first came out because of it's low mammalian toxicity and broad-spectrum insect protection," said John Spaulding, product manager for Gordon's insecticides.

ImidiPro comes in a 20-oz. bottle that treats one acre. The systemic insecticide offers residual protection from white grubs and many other turfgrass pests as well as protecting ornamentals from sucking and piercing insects. ImidiPro should be applied prior to infestation or at the first sign of insect activity to allow adequate product uptake by target plants.

ImidiPro has proven efficacy against white grubs, billbugs, weevils and cutworm in turfgrasses as well as aphids, Japanese beetles, leafminers, sawfly larvae, scale and whiteflies on ornamentals. Application options include soil injection and soil drench application around trees and shrubs as well as spray application on ornamental, pome fruit and pecan trees, grapes and turfgrass sites. ImidiPro is also labeled for ant control.
