Primo MAXX is designed for use on all forms of turf for turf to reduce the frequency of mowing and the amount of grass clippings through reducing the growth of turfgrasses.
Using unique chemistry, it makes turf stronger by increasing both root and lateral shoot growth. The result is a shorter distance between the shoot nodes, leading to more compact root growth. While the vertical growth is slowed, both root and lateral growth are boosted, creating stronger, healthier turf.
Extensive research has proven that implementing a program which includes an application of Primo Maxx plant growth regulator prior to the onset of stresses like heat, drought, disease and traffic can strengthen the turf, and therefore allow it to withstand ongoing stresses throughout the season.
Primo Maxx reaches the growing point through the foliage and it is not washed off by rainfall or irrigation 12 hours after application. Watering-in is not required. For best results, Primo Maxx should be applied to high quality turfgrass which receives adequate fertilization which makes it an ideal addition to your LawnAmerica service, and can easily be incorporated with our Showcase Care Program.
How Does Primo Maxx Work?
The active ingredient in PRIMO MAXX, trinexapac-ethyl, causes a temporary halt to the production of gibberellic acid, a plant growth hormone which is responsible for the top growth of the plant. Trinexapac-ethyl is taken up by the foliage of the grass plant and is translocated systemically to the growing point of the plant. After application the turf grass grows more slowly than in untreated areas, with shorter leaf blades.
Basically, it promotes root growth, and not top growth, which not only saves you time, but it good for the health of your turf!
