You needed an effective preventive control option for nursery stock and Christmas trees. FMC answered with OnyxPro insecticide. Developed specifically for nursery growers and Christmas tree growers, OnyxPro provides preventive protection from the most devastating bark beetles, wood borers and clear wing borers.

Borers and beetles: a true threat to trees
Invasive beetles and borers are a serious threat to our nation’s forests. For example, the United States Department of Agriculture estimates the potential cost for damage by the emerald ash borer could exceed $7 billion by 2031. The southern pine beetle destroys millions of dollars of valuable timber resources and has earned the reputation of being the most feared insect from Pennsylvania to Texas and from New Mexico and Arizona.

Nursery stock under scrutiny
This type of pest threat has led state and federal authorities to implement quarantines and closely monitor interstate transport of nursery stock susceptible to beetle and borer pest damage. Some states will not allow nursery stock to be shipped out of state if it hasn’t been protected with a properly timed preventive chemical treatment.

OnyxPro insecticide protects your investment
You can be certain your valuable investment will withstand the scrutiny when you protect your stock with OnyxPro. OnyxPro works best as a preventive application and provides excellent protection when applied one to two months prior to expected adult beetle flight. Check with your county or local state extension specialist to find out the optimal timing for the borer or beetle you are targeting.
