Primo Maxx – The Revolutionary New Turf Management Tool From Scotts and Syngenta
Primo MAXX – the new liquid growth regulator developed by Syngenta and brought to the UK turf market by Scotts – is being hailed as a revolution in turf management. It’s designed for use on all forms of turf, from fine golf greens, to tees, fairways, semi-rough and rough areas. It can also be used on sports pitches, and coarser landscaping applications.
Trials have been carried out at 25 golf and sports sites in the UK which have proven the product makes turf stronger, healthier, more resistant to drought, more vigorous at lower cutting heights and better able to survive in stressful conditions. In addition, a tighter, denser surface can be achieved, providing superior fairways and faster, more uniform putting surfaces.
Because it’s stronger, grass treated with Primo MAXX can be less prone to disease attack, and it can be used as part of an over-seeding programme to help newly emerging seeds establish more quickly.
Using unique chemistry, Primo MAXX makes turf stronger by increasing both root and lateral shoot growth. It works by blocking the production of gibberellic acid late in the cycle, which effectively limits cell elongation. 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.
