TriStar® is the leading midway-to-finish spray insecticide for good reason: assurance. With broad-spectrum control, quick knockdown, little residue, and “just right” residual, TriStar protects plants for a stronger finish. TriStar is softer on beneficial insects and an alternative where pollinator impact is a concern.
A formula to fit your needs
• Provides contact, systemic and translaminar activity to protect old and new growth
• Easy-to-use and is an excellent tank-mix partner
• Odorless and mixes easily with water
• Good IPM and resistance management tool
• Acetamiprid, the active ingredient in TriStar, is EPA classified as a reduced-risk insecticide
Fast results, just-right residual
• Absorbs and spreads within the plant quickly to knock down a broad spectrum of insects (in as little as 15 minutes as a direct spray)
• Shorter residual is just right for crop finishing – up to 4 weeks residual control on bedding plants, 4 to 6 weeks on woody ornamentals and trees (depending on the plant material)
Consider using TriStar® when...
Mid- or late-season pest pressure surfaces, blooms may be present, thrip resistance to other chemistries is evident or market-time protection is needed to help assure a quality, satisfactory delivery.Latest from Greenhouse Management
