Trinexapac-ethyl
Formulation: 
Microemulsion concentrate
Mode of action: 
Systemic

The active ingredient in PRIMO MAXX, trinexapac-ethyl, causes a temporary halt to the production of gibberellic acid, a plant growth hormone which is responsible for the top growth of the plant. Trinexapac-ethyl is taken up by the foliage of the grass plant and is translocated systemically to the growing point of the plant. After application the turf grass grows more slowly than in untreated areas, with shorter leaf blades
