Attraxor

Attraxor® is a plant growth regulator containing the new active substance, prohexadione.

Attraxor® can be used to regulate growth of all managed amenity turf (for example: golf, links golf, sports pitches and training grounds, outfields, racecourses, tennis courts, airfields etc) at a rate of 375 — 1,500 g/ha.

Attraxor® has been shown to effectively regulate growth of managed amenity turf. The active substance inhibits the giberrelic acid pathway, which results in a reduction of turf height and turf biomass. Root growth is promoted through the use of Attraxor® whilst turf colour and quality are maintained.

Prohexadione, the active substance in Attraxor® is activated in the tank by the addition of water; therefore growth regulation occurs rapidly following application of the product.

Key advantages

Where to use

For use on managed amenity turf

When to use*

• Apply when grass is growing consistently and soil temperatures are between 7°C — 21°C
• Subsequent applications can be made every 21 days from this point

Additional information:

• Use the lowest stated water volumes when mixing with hard water
• Ideal pH of spray solution is 4.5 - 5.5
• Add Attraxor into the spray water before any other products
• Having removed the top hat filter add Attraxor directly into a spray tank containing ¾ of the final spray volume and agitate until dissolved
• Attraxor should be applied alongside 2.5 kg/ha supplementary nitrogen
• Do not mix with fertilisers containing calcium, magnesium or boron
• Replace lid immediately as Attraxor® granules will rapidly absorb water from the atmosphere
• Do not apply when turf is stressed or in direct sunshine
• Do not irrigate for at least four hours post application

* Application rates for Attraxor® are dependent on turf height and presence/absence of Poa annua. See below for more detailed application rate information.

Application rates

Turf height > 8mm: Golf tees, surrounds and fairways, sports pitches, racecourses, tennis.

Turf height < 8mm: Golf greens, bowling greens and fairways, fine ornamental lawns.

Active substances - Prohexadione

Bio-chemical mode of action: Prohexadione reduces plant growth by inhibiting the synthesis of gibberellins.

Mobility: Prohexadione has xylem mobile activity which means that it is absorbed through the leaves then moves upwards through the plant within the xylem (water conducting tissues).
