{"product_id":"1-5kg-plant-growth-regulator-for-turf-management","title":"1.5kg Plant Growth Regulator for Turf Management","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1.5kg professional plant growth regulator, proven to regulate the growth of managed amenity turf effectively. Its active substance, prohexadione, blocks the gibberellic acid pathway, reducing turf height and biomass while encouraging root growth and keeping turf colour and quality intact. Prohexadione is activated in the tank when water is added, so growth regulation begins quickly after application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated for fast foliar uptake - growth regulation can start as quickly as 4hrs after application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior performance against \u003cem\u003ePoa annua\u003c\/em\u003e pioneering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore even growth control across all grass species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended growth regulation on fine turf grass species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces turf height and turf biomass while promoting root growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurf colour and quality are maintained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e managed amenity turf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply when grass is growing steadily and air temperatures are between 7°C — 21°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe first application can be made once 450 growth degree days have accumulated in the year (zero GDD model).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurther applications can follow every 21 days from that point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication window: April to September.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMixing and application*:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill the spray tank with 3\/4 of the required water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBefore adding any other products\u003c\/strong\u003e, take out the top hat filter and pour the granules straight into the tank while agitating the water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep agitating until the granules have fully dissolved, then add the remaining water through the top hat filter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply one hour after mowing, in slow drying conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen mixing with hard water, use the lowest stated water volumes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ideal spray solution pH is 4.5 - 5.5.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways add this growth regulator to the spray water before any other product.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply it together with 2.5 kg\/ha of supplementary nitrogen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not\u003c\/strong\u003e mix with fertilisers that contain calcium, magnesium or boron.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace the lid straight away, as the granules quickly absorb moisture from the air.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not apply to stressed turf or in direct sunshine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not irrigate for at least four hours after application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Application rates depend on turf height and on whether \u003cem\u003ePoa annua\u003c\/em\u003e is present - see the tables below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTurf Height \u0026gt;
