PGR and cut height
1 - 17 of 17 Posts
Agreed! Relating that to PGR (assuming trinexapac-ethyl), it is more effective at the lower cut heights. It will still work great at a higher HOC, but you will need to play around with dosage until you get the results. The first year I used generic primo I was mowing around 2" with a rotary and used a rate of .5-.6oz/M every 3 weeks with great results. Mowing at 3/4" I feel I can get the results I want at .25-.3oz/M.Green said:
@chrismar had an issue with primo and longer cut grass and believe he had to up his dosage to .75oz/M. You can read about it here
Lower heights still need to be cut more often than higher cut heights, all else equal.
If you've never used a PGR before, I recommend using half rate for at least the first 2 applications, and seeing how it goes. Then adjust if needed the next time.
Pretty sure that I only used 2/3 of the normal rate last year.

Awesome. I was getting a bit worried that I was going to have to change my cutting style. Really getting pumped just thinking about ultra greened grass that doesn't grow.
Will also give less worry to times when it rains on cut day and it was already super long and now I have to deal with bagging on every pass.
Probably means it is time to get a stripe kit just to make it that much more fun

@kolbasz The fact that it can be tank mixed with PGR and sprayed all at once and at about the same intervals between spraying as PGR makes it a relatively easy way to get a better more deep green. At least that's what I've heard. I'm going to be new to trying it out this year so figured I'd throw it out there in case you hadn't thought about it yet. Definitely something to look into IMO.

Speaking only to fungicides (I don't know ANYthing about Tenacity or momentum); and, Based on the literature I've been referencing, I will be combining application of my fungicides program with my app.s of Quali-Pro T-Nex.kolbasz said:
Page 4 of the Quali-Pro T-Nex label: "Enhanced fungicide performance has been demonstrated in research trials when monthly applications of Quali-Pro® T-Nex® at the label rate or biweekly applications at 1/2 the label rate were shown to strengthen the turfgrass and to help it resist disease. Since mowing is less frequent and removal of leaf material is reduced, contact and systemic fungicide products remain more e ective in or on the turf longer."
The word fungicide appears at least half a dozen times on the label (here: https://www.domyown.com/msds/QUALIPROTNEXLABEL.pdf ) and it helps that I plan (currently) on making my PGR app.s at 3-week intervals, roughly same as the intervals I aim for as a part of my fungicides app.s
Best o' Success!
Thanks. Seems we should have an interesting summer.
Is @GrassDaddy going to do PGR? He seems to do or try everything else
