“Triple Crown is a result of FMC’s commitment to Customer-Driven Innovation,” said Catherine Bernard, insecticide brand marketing manager for FMC. “Because of its unique multiple action formulation, Triple Crown is a great product golf course superintendents now have to protect turf and landscape plants against destructive pests - both above and below ground. By eliminating the need to tank mix multiple products to control pests, Triple Crown helps save time, money and shelf space.”
 
Among the fastest liquid insecticides now available for golf course superintendents, Triple Crown is labeled for broadcast golf course turf applications. Research among university specialists in various parts of the country has shown that Triple Crown delivers fast and long lasting results against damaging annual bluegrass weevil and billbug adults, chinch bugs, and mole crickets.
 
Available in a suspoemulsion formulation, Triple Crown Golf insecticide works through contact, translaminar and systemic activity, providing protection against sucking pests that feed on a plant’s vascular system, as well as foliar-feeding insects.
