Syngenta Introduces Atexzo Insecticide/Miticide for Turfgrass Pest Management

Syngenta has introduced Atexzo Insecticide or Miticide, a new pest-control solution designed mainly for use in turfgrass environments like golf courses, sports fields, and other managed turf areas. The product offers broad-spectrum control of both insect and mite pests, helping turf managers maintain healthier and more resilient turf.

According to the Precedence Research, the global acaricides market size was estimated at USD 408.00 million in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 427.18 million in 2026 to approximately USD 645.87 million by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 4.70% from 2026 to 2035. The acaricides market is driven by the rising demand to maximize agricultural productivity and safeguarding crops from devastating mite and tick infestations.

One of the key highlights of Atexzo is its effectiveness against bermudagrass mites, a significant pest that can cause extensive damage to bermudagrass by feeding on plant tissues and reducing turf quality. The product also controls a range of important insect pests, including annual bluegrass weevils, caterpillars, billbugs, and mole crickets, making it a versatile solution for professional turf management.

According to Syngenta, Atexzo offers a unique combination of insecticidal and miticidal activity, enabling turf professionals to address multiple pest challenges with a single product. This integrated approach can assist in simplifying pest management programs and potentially reduce the demand for multiple applications of different products.

The launch reflects the industry's growing focus on innovative pest-control technologies that offer effective management while supporting long-term turf health. By targeting both insects and mites, Atexzo thus expands the options available to turf managers seeking comprehensive pest protection.

From an acaricides market perspective, the product is mainly noteworthy because it includes miticidal activity, making it relevant to the turf and ornamental acaricides or miticides segment. While the product is not primarily targeted at agricultural crop production, it represents an important development in the professional turf care market, where mite infestations can significantly affect turf aesthetics and performance.
