Lanzarta Pine Weevil Insecticide - Now Available from Amenity Choice!
Amenity Choice is pleased to announce that Lanzarta, the newly authorised solution for controlling Hylobius abietis (large pine weevil), is now available to order online.
Lanzarta, manufactured by Syngenta, has recently received Emergency Authorisation (EA), allowing it to be used in the UK between 15 April and 13 August 2025 to protect young trees in Sitka spruce and other pine woodlands. The product can be applied once per season between 15th April and 30th September using a knapsack sprayer to target newly planted or regenerating saplings.
With the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole, Lanzarta offers an effective and environmentally responsible way to protect young trees from the damage caused by Hylobius weevils. Its advanced liquid formulation binds securely to the bark, preventing wash-off and ensuring long-lasting protection through the critical early growth period.
The introduction of Lanzarta is a significant step forward in helping forestry managers and landowners safeguard young woodland, reducing the risk of restocking losses and promoting healthy, sustainable tree growth.
Key features of Lanzarta:
- Long-lasting protection that binds securely to tree bark.
- Easy application with a knapsack sprayer.
- Helps prevent costly damage from Hylobius weevils.
Hylobius weevils pose a serious threat to young trees, particularly Sitka spruce, which makes up around 50% of the UK’s £2bn forestry trade. Each year, around 35 million Sitka saplings are planted, making effective protection against these pests essential.
By incorporating Lanzarta into your pest management routine—alongside methods like ground cover management and habitat control—you can strengthen your woodland’s defences and ensure successful tree establishment.
