11/04/25
Award Turf 20-0-8 Fertilizer with 0.067% Acelepyrn Insecticide, manufactured by EC Grow, is a unique dual-action granular combination that not only nourishes your turf and ornamentals but also provides robust, season-long insect control, making it a staple in a plant care regimen.
It combines a 20-0-8 fertilizer with 0.067% chlorantraniliprole, the active ingredient in Acelepryn insecticide. This means you're feeding your lawn while simultaneously protecting it from a wide range of damaging insects such as grubs, armyworms, sod webworms, and more. When applied early in the season, this product delivers longer-lasting insect control compared to imidacloprid-based treatments.
Award Turf 20-0-8 Fertilizer with 0.067% Acelepyrn Insecticide offers the lowest use rate for effective grub control and delivers longer-lasting protection in turf and ornamentals against a broad-spectrum of pests. Its low environmental impact and reduced risk of resistance make it a smart, sustainable choice for season-long turf health.
Tools Needed
You will need a push spreader, broadcast spreader, rotary spreader, or handheld spreader.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Award Turf 20-0-8 Fertilizer with 0.067% Acelepryn Insecticide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). Depending on the pest, apply 3.44 to 6.88 pounds of Award Turf 20-0-8 Fertilizer with 0.067% Acelepyrn Insecticide per 1,000 sq. ft. For maximum residual effectiveness or for optimal control of large pest infestations, this product may be applied at up to 500 pounds per acre. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions.
- Step 2: Calibrate the spreader to the proper setting then add in the correct amount of granules.
- Step 3: Spread the granules evenly across the treatment area, but avoid overlaps. Irrigate turf immediately after application or allow rainfall to move the product into the soil. If needed, wait 7 days after the first application before retreating.
