Syngenta Professional Products recently announced that Meridian??????oe insecticide (thiamethoxam) has received registration for use in California.

Specifically formulated for insect control on turfgrasses on golf courses, sod farms, residential lawns, commercial grounds, parks and many other areas, Meridian is designed to provide turf managers with a high degree of control and application flexibility in managing a broad spectrum of grubs and insects. It also is effective and suitable for use on trees and shrubs.
