T-Nex is the generic version of Primo. Same ai. I have no experience with Anuew but from what Ive read on here it does have some advantages vs T-nex.

You can mix iron and fertilizer (ie AS or urea) with your pgr app. Most other foliar products as well. Do a jar test before to be sure the products you want to apply mix well.

 

@jha4aamu Do you have a go to iron that you like to use? I do have agricultural urea I can use as my Nitrogen source.

 

I have tried several and can't really say I have a favorite. I probably use the ferrous sulfate from Greenway most often because it fairly cheap and its always in stock. Feature and Main Event are also good products.

 

I have used Anuew with great results. Mixed with urea and iron (Southern AG).

 

Great to hear.

Everyone please chime in with your experience. This can help us all.

 

i have Kentucky Blue grass. I live in Minnesota. Last year, for the entire season, I used Primo max at a half rate, and i would reapply when gdd told me too. I would suggest starting with a half rate. Especially with KBG. I think I used a full rate one time and didnt like the way my grass reacted to it. I mixed it with Urea (.15 lbs of nitrogen per thousand) and feature (using middle of the road rate) . It froze my grass in time. Very little bronzing. I actually still have a bunch left over because this year i decided to not use it. Mainly because honestly I really really like mowing my lawn. When i used Primo i just didnt have to mow as often and I missed doing that twice a week. Also, another thing about Kentucky Bluegrass as you prolly know is that it repairs bad spots so nicely. When i used primo, the imperfections in my lawn didnt "heal" as fast when in regulation so i would warn you about that. In my experience I just didnt like that either. Hope this helps, good luck and have fun.

 

@JeffCar26 You’ll get the results you’re looking for regardless of which PGR or iron product you choose. Sometimes we overthink these decisions, when in reality, most of the options available will do the job just fine - as long as you follow the recommended rates and re-application timing.

My best advice: go with what’s readily available to you and, more importantly, what fits your budget.

 

Thanks for your input everyone.

Would everyone advise using fertilizer and iron with each application?

Is it a bad idea to use a PGR by itself?

 

Not a bad idea - just generally used together to offset the color loss and/or bronzing effect the PGR can have. If you want to use just PGR that is certainly doable.
