Ipswich Town Head Groundsman, Alan Ferguson (right), reports that Primo Maxx has contributed hugely to creating the best looking turf he has ever seen pre-season – on both the pitch and the training ground.

“Renovated turf has recovered very quickly, and with incredible density,” he reports. “But we are also seeing a 50% reduction in mowing, which helps immensely with managing all the pitches with limited staff resources; we now have more time available to get the pitches in top condition,” adds Alan.

Lee Jackson, Assistant Head Groundsman at the City of Manchester Stadium agrees Primo Maxx has played an important part in the pitch renovation process this summer. “An application of PRIMO MAXX at the end of the playing season reduced the volume of clippings removed by 50-60% almost immediately,” he says. “It has been a big success in slowing the sward down in preparation for the renovation process over the summer.”
