]]> Albaugh Specialty Products has received EPA registration (Reg. No. 89442-73) for Pendi MicroCap™, a pendimethalin-based preemergence herbicide for turf, ornamental and non-crop use. The low-odor microencapsulated formulation controls 25 broadleaf and more than 20 grassy weed species on cool- and warm-season turfgrass, with reduced staining and improved storage stability versus emulsifiable concentrate products. Availability begins in fall 2026 exclusively through the Albaugh Specialty Products distribution network.

Key facts

Companies Albaugh Specialty Products
Chemicals pendimethalin
Timing October 6, 2026, fall 2026
End uses turf, ornamental, non-crop applications, residential turf and landscape, golf course, commercial and non-residential turf and landscape

Market context

Pendimethalin is a dinitroaniline herbicide that works mainly as a preemergence treatment, stopping weed seeds from establishing as they germinate. It has long been used in row crops, but it is also a staple in turf and ornamental settings, where managers need selective control of broadleaf and grassy weeds without damaging established grass or plantings. Demand in this space is driven by residential lawn care, golf course maintenance, sod and nursery operations, and commercial landscaping, all of which depend on consistent weed control and clean application. Microencapsulated formulations are a known way to reduce odor and surface staining compared with emulsifiable concentrates, and they can improve storage stability, which matters for distributors and end users handling inventory. New registrations of this kind can shift how formulators and distributors position active ingredients in turf, often by adding product choice within an existing molecule rather than changing raw material supply. For buyers, the practical effect is usually on formulation competition and channel share rather than on the price of the underlying technical active.

]]> Albaugh has received U.S. EPA registration (EPA Reg. No. 45002-68) for Riceprole 5L ST, a new seed treatment built on the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole, a systemic insecticide. The product will be sold in the U.S. Mid-South rice market beginning in late 2026 and targets rice water weevil larvae, Mexican rice borer, rice stalk borer, and sugarcane borer. It is not registered for use in California.

Key facts

Companies Albaugh
Chemicals chlorantraniliprole
Timing 2026-09-22, late 2026
End uses Mid-South rice production, rice water weevil control, Mexican rice borer control, rice stalk borer control, sugarcane borer control

Market context

Chlorantraniliprole belongs to the anthranilic diamide class of insecticides, which act on insect ryanodine receptors and are valued for targeting caterpillar and borer pests while showing lower toxicity to many non-target species. Seed treatments are a growing segment within crop protection because they deliver active ingredients early in the growing season, when seedlings are most vulnerable, and they reduce the number of foliar spray passes required on the field. Demand for products like this is driven mainly by row-crop and rice producers who manage soil-dwelling and stem-boring pests, along with agricultural retailers and seed companies that package treated seed. Regulatory registration is a key gating step in the U.S. market, and a new product entering a regional segment can affect pricing and share among established insecticide suppliers, particularly those already selling diamide chemistries. Rice growers in the Mid-South are a concentrated buyer group, so regional uptake patterns may matter more than national totals for this kind of launch.
