Not all fertilizers protect the turf from root-damaging pests. With 21-0-8 featuring Merit, the turf stays green and healthy while resisting the damage caused by white grubs and other grub species. It provides residual control and keeps grubs away all season long.
How 21-0-8 with Merit Works
21-0-8 is a plant nutrient product used to feed the turf vital nitrogen and soluble potash. These nutrients help the plants grow and develop while also improving their resistance to damage. Because it also contains Merit insecticide, the active ingredient called imidacloprid affects the grubs' nervous system, causing paralysis and death.
Where to Use 21-0-8 Fertilizer

It's best to apply this fertilizer/insecticide before egg laying for optimal results.
