Product Information

Orthene Turf, Tree and Ornamental Spray 97 Spray

Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide is a soluble insecticide with 97.4% acephate that is readily absorbed by plant roots and foliage. This absorption provides systemic control of feeding insects. Use Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide on turf, trees, and ornamentals to protect them from various pests. Acephate paralyzes the insect's nervous system and will kill both on contact and penetrate the plant tissue systemically. Within 24 hours, the plant will absorb this chemical, so there is no need to water it. It does have an odor but has a low vapor pressure, as well as low dermal and oral toxicity, and volatility.

Orthene Turf, Tree and Ornamental Spray 97

Orthene Turf, Tree and Ornamental Spray 97 is a systemic insecticide containing acephate for control of listed insects on labeled turf, trees, shrubs, ornamentals, and other approved sites. It is designed to move into treated plant tissue, helping control feeding insects after application.

This product is useful when pests are actively feeding on plants and a systemic treatment is needed beyond simple contact control. Once absorbed, Orthene 97 helps protect treated plants from listed insects that damage foliage, stems, and plant surfaces.

Why Choose Orthene 97 Spray?

Systemic activity helps protect treated plant tissue from feeding insects
Controls a broad range of listed turf, tree, shrub, and ornamental pests
Useful for professional landscape, nursery, greenhouse, and turf applications
Can provide residual control when applied according to the label
Works on contact and through plant absorption

How It Works

Orthene 97 is absorbed by plant foliage and roots, then moves through the plant to help control listed feeding insects. This makes it a strong option for pests that are actively feeding on treated plant surfaces. After application, insects are affected through contact or by feeding on treated plant tissue.

Because this is a systemic insecticide, proper timing and coverage are important. Apply when pests are present or when label directions recommend treatment, and always follow the product label for the specific pest, plant, and use site being treated.

Application Tips for Better Results

Use Orthene 97 as part of a planned pest management program. Identify the pest before treating, confirm the plant or site is listed on the label, and apply using the correct rate and spray volume for the situation.

For best results, avoid applying under poor plant health conditions or when environmental conditions may reduce performance. Always read the label for mixing directions, application timing, retreatment intervals, plant restrictions, and personal protective equipment requirements.
