Plant Growth Regulators are one of the turf world’s biggest kept secrets! Plant growth regulators work behind the scenes to help your lawn grow thicker instead of taller. This ultimately helps cut mowing requirements in half while improving the overall appearance of your lawn. This way you can mow your lawn less this summer and enjoy more time relaxing in the garden.
Let us introduce you to your new best friend, Amigo Plant Growth Regulator.
Who Should Use a PGR?
PGR’s like Amigo are a great product for anyone who wants to reduce the amount of mowing needed throughout the warmer months or anyone who is looking to take their lawn to the next level. With just one application, you will effectively hold back the vertical growth of your lawn for your lawn for around 3-4 weeks in periods when you may normally need to be mowing your lawn a few times a week to keep up with growth.
This makes it an ideal product to use if you are about to go on holiday and won’t be able to mow for a few weeks, are a FIFO worker or are just not a fan of mowing!
What are the benefits of using Amigo?
Amigo has many benefits including:
- Inhibits vertical shoot growth
- Promotes rich colour, lateral stem and root mass development.
- Reduce grass growth: reduce mowing.
- Helps produce healthy, durable blades in turfgrass.
- Helps turf withstand seasonal stresses.
- Reduction in grass seed heads.
With so many benefits and a reduction in maintenance when growth is at its peak, it is a fantastic product to use.
When Should I Use a PGR?
As PGR’s like Amigo slow the growth of your lawn down, it is best to only use them throughout the warmer months when growth is fastest. It is also recommended that you use them only when your lawn is healthy and not under stress. If your lawn is under stress on application, it will slow down the repair, which is not ideal.
In South Australia we recommend to apply PGRs from November through to February.
