Primo Maxx® II can be used to help reduce turf management workload and improve turf quality by limiting cell elongation and vertical growth of turf grasses.
Primo Maxx® II contains the active substance, trinexapac-ethyl which blocks the production of gibberellic acid within the leaf leading to a more compact growth form.
Trinexapac-ethyl is activated by metabolic processes in the plant and is therefore most effective when soil temperatures are consistently >10°C. Activation within the plant occurs around 3-5 days after application and lasts for up to six weeks.
Whilst Primo Maxx® II is actively regulating plant growth, turf managers can expect a reduction in clipping yields and an improvement in playing surface quality. Use of Primo Maxx® II is also associated with greater rooting, and drought and shade tolerance.
Key benefits:
Reduces clipping yields
Creates a more compact grass growth form
Increases rooting, and drought and shade tolerance
Improves playing surface quality
