Tempo XTRA Insecticide

Tempo XTRA® is a dual mode of action insecticide designed to deliver fast knockdown and lasting residual control across turf and ornamental applications. Its unique combination of contact and systemic chemistry makes it highly effective against some of the most difficult insect pests encountered in professional turf and landscape management.

In turf situations, Tempo XTRA is registered to control nine key pests, including notoriously hard-to-manage insects such as Argentine Stem Weevil and Couch Mite. In ornamental applications, it is registered to control twelve insect pests, including economically significant species such as aphids, mealybugs, scale, whitefly, and thrips.

How Tempo XTRA® Works

Tempo XTRA utilises a dual mode of action system, combining fast-acting contact chemistry for immediate pest knockdown with residual systemic activity that protects treated plants over time. This balanced approach ensures insects are controlled quickly while reducing the likelihood of reinfestation.

The formulation incorporates HAS Technology, which enhances performance consistency and improves the delivery of active ingredients across plant surfaces, contributing to reliable and repeatable results in challenging pest pressure situations.

Ornamental Plant Safety

Tempo XTRA Residual Insecticide has been tested on a wide range of ornamental plant species and has demonstrated excellent plant safety when used according to label directions. These include, but are not limited to, Roses, Azaleas, Pelargoniums, Magnolia, Melaleuca, Eucalyptus, Viburnum, Camellia, Azalea, and Lilly Pilly.

As plant sensitivity can vary depending on species, variety, and local environmental conditions, it is recommended to treat a small number of plants first if uncertainty exists, before proceeding with full-scale application.

Where to Use Tempo XTRA

Tempo XTRA is suitable for use in turf and ornamental environments, including managed turf surfaces, landscaped areas, and ornamental plantings. It is widely used in professional turf management, landscape maintenance, and facility upkeep where reliable insect control and plant safety are required.
