Trinexapac-ethyl is the active ingredient in Primo MAXX that works by redirecting plant growth. It specifically targets the gibberellic acid site responsible for cell elongation in grass.
Not only does Primo MAXX inhibit vertical growth, but actually diverts plant growth downward into the root system to produce increased food reserves and lateral stem development. This in turn produces a thicker, healthier sward that better equips your turf to withstand temperature extremes, moisture loss, traffic and wear and tear, and even helps in the management of Poa annua.
Primo MAXX can be used on all well maintained quality turf grass areas. It can also be used to help manage areas which are difficult to mow such as sloping banks or turf edges by flower beds and pavements.
- Easy to use liquid formulation.
- Reduces grass top growth, improves sward density and rootmass.
- Flexible application rates for all turf surfaces.
- Improves turf colour and appearance.
- Cuts down mowing frequency - one application can reduce grass clippings by up to 50%.
- Cuts down wear and tear on machinery.
- No buffer zone.
Application programmeThe Primo MAXX programmecan be commenced at any stage of the growing season, but ideally should start at the onset of spring growth and continue whilst grass is actively growing. Primo MAXX programmes will give the best results in preventing the effts of drought - by maintaining healthy grass for longer and aiding rapid recovery - if a series of treatments are made before grass comes under stree (Pre-stress Conditioning).
Primo MAXX was voted the No.1 advancement in modern greenkeeping, in a survey for Golfweek's SuperNEWS. It was cited as the first PGR that coulid be safely and predictably used on all fine turf areas, which has proven an invaluable tool to save mowing labour and maximise turf colour and density.
