he art form of professional
T turf management requires the balancing of a range of drivers and needs , and this requires skilled labour and high-performance solutions to be successful . The unique formula of Attraxor ® makes it possible for turf care professionals to meet a variety of these differing needs effectively .
FORMULATED FOR THOSE WHO NEED FAST RESULTS Using an innovative formulation for fast leaf absorption , the product provides almost instant results , making it ideal for those who need to act fast . Prohexadione calcium , the active ingredient in Attraxor ®, is activated once diluted in water at low pH so growth regulation occurs rapidly following application . As there is no need for enzymatic activation product performance can be expected from temperatures starting at 7 ° C .
REDUCTION OF POA ANNUA PIONEERING Poa annua is a notorious problem for UK turf managers and greenkeepers who are
looking to create perfect conditions for sporting or leisure activities . Attraxor ® limits the spread of Poa annua by reducing seedhead production by up to 38 % and physiologically weakening but not killing the plant .
LONGITUDINAL GROWTH REDUCTION TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY At the recommended dose rate and independent of the cutting height , Attraxor ® reduces turf height by up to 30 % and clippings by up to 70 % ffor up to 4 weeks following one application . Thus , Attraxor ® reduces the frequency of mowing , ultimately leading to savings on cost and CO 2 emissions from frequent use of petrol lawnmowers .
LONG TERM RESULTS Attraxor ® produces a consistent effect for up to four weeks after application . It is effective on all cool season grass species , such as Agrostis spp ., Festuca spp ., Lolium perenne , Holcus lanatus and Poa pratensis .
