Insecticides
Crossfire 480
An insecticide for control of Leatherjackets and Frit Fly in amenity grassland and managed turf. Leatherjackets can cause serious damage to turf. The adult Crane flies are active in the late summer to Autumn period with each female laying about 200-300 eggs. These hatch into larvae in about 14 days and remain in the soil for about 9 months before pupating and then hatching into the next season's Crane Fly. The larvae feed on the turf (and roots) biting off stems at or just below ground level, resulting in the turf dying back, often in clumps. This leads to bare patches which are then prone to weed invasion. |
