Conserve SC Turf & Ornamental Biological Insecticide (Spinosad 11.6%) - 1 Quart

Professional-Grade Insect Control for Turf, Ornamentals, and Landscapes

Conserve SC is a premium specialty insecticide from Corteva Agriscience, featuring 11.6% Spinosad – a naturally derived active ingredient produced through the fermentation of a soil bacterium (Saccharopolyspora spinosa). This innovative formulation uniquely blends the rapid efficacy of synthetic insecticides with the environmental profile of biological controls, making it an ideal choice for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs and resistance management strategies.
