Nufarm Americas adds Atera insecticide Nufarm Americas' new Atera liquid turf insecticide is designed to battle against foliar, surface and sub-surface insect pests. The product combines imidacloprid and 1 pound of bifenthrin per gallon, which allows users to apply at their discretion. Unlike other formulations with the same active ingredients, Atera is labeled to deliver full rates of the ingredients. The company says that if surface insects are a problem any time before or at standard grub application time, a single application can control them both. It can also be used to control foliar pests on trees and shrubs. Available in 60-ounce containers, Atera is labeled as both a non-restricted product for general use and a restricted use product for use on golf courses.
