An application of PROXY GROWTH REGULATOR slows the growth of turfgrasses, thus reducing the required frequency of mowing and the volume of clippings collected. For best turfgrass growth regulation, apply PROXY GROWTH REGULATOR when daytime air temperatures are 65°F and rising. PROXY GROWTH REGULATOR must only be applied once turfgrass mowing heights have been established for the season. Avoid multiple applications of PROXY GROWTH REGULATOR in areas where excessive thatch has accumulated. Reapplication intervals: Kentucky Bluegrass-7 weeks; Perennial Ryegrass-7 weeks; Tall/Fine Fescue-4 weeks; Bentgrass-4 weeks |
