Plant Growth Regulators

• Plant growth regulators, or PGR’s, are innovative solutions that influence the plants development and growth.
• Once absorbed the active ingredient works to temporarily block the plant’s ability to produce a growth hormone called Gibberellic Acid.
• This in turn suppresses the plants vertical growth, while allowing normal processes like photosynthesis and respiration to continue.
• All the energy from the plant is then diverted into lateral growth resulting in a denser coverage of lawn and a deeper root mass.
• PGRs like Primo Maxx tick a lot of sustainability boxes, the most important being greener grass with less water requirement.
• Primo Maxx improves water management efficiency by encouraging the Stomates, or the pores of a plant, to close for longer periods, which slows down the rate of water lost through transpiration.
