Nufarm Arena 50 0.25 G Insecticide is a highly effective, systemic insecticide designed to control a variety of pests on ornamental plants, trees, shrubs, and turfgrass. Its active ingredient, Clothianidin, is a neonicotinoid that works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. This insecticide is widely used for its long-lasting protection and ability to prevent pest damage, especially from soil-dwelling insects.

Benefits:

• Systemic Action: Clothianidin is absorbed by plant roots and translocated throughout the plant, providing protection against pests both above and below ground.

• Broad Spectrum Control: Effective against a wide range of pests, including grubs, ants, fleas, and various species of root-feeding insects.

• Long Residual Activity: Provides protection for extended periods, reducing the need for frequent reapplication.

• Non-Repellent: Insects do not detect the product, allowing for better absorption and a more consistent pest control effect.

• Reduced Risk of Resistance: Clothianidin, being a neonicotinoid, offers an alternative mode of action compared to conventional insecticides.

Use Rates:

• Turfgrass: Apply at a rate of 80 to 160 lbs per acre.

• Ornamental Trees and Shrubs: The rate may vary depending on the species and size of the plant.

Restrictions:

• Restricted Use: Nufarm Arena is labeled as a restricted-use pesticide in some regions due to its active ingredient and its potential to impact pollinators.

• Non-Target Organisms: Avoid application near water sources, as it may be harmful to aquatic organisms.

• Bee Protection: Take precautions to minimize exposure to pollinators. Avoid applying during bloom when pollinators are active.

• Do Not Overapply: Adhere strictly to recommended application rates to prevent possible damage to plants or the environment.

• Watering: Ensure adequate watering after application to improve absorption into the soil.

• Protective Equipment: Wear protective gloves, long sleeves, and eye protection during application. Follow all personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines outlined on the product label.

• Environmental Safety: Apply the product according to label instructions to minimize the risk of environmental contamination.

• Storage and Disposal: Store in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. Dispose of empty containers according to local regulations.
