Poa Annua Reduction Using Andersons TGR and Turf Enhancer Products

Product % Label Rate Active ingredient Paclobutrazol ounces/1,000 sq.ft . Paclobutrazol/Acre Andersons TGR (Turf Growth Regulator) and Turf Enhancer formulations are effective tools for reducing existing Poa annua in turf Paclobutrazol, the active ingredient in TGR and Turf Enhancer, is a root-absorbed gibberillic acid inhibitor. Since paclobutrazol is a growth regulator, you will see a differential growth regulating effect on Poa annua in the desired turf species. Poa annua is particularly sensitive to paclobutrazol. When using TGR or Turf Enhancer products in a program, Poa annua is weakened, and you will see increased density and tillering in the desired turf, which allows it to gradually replace Poa annua. Before beginning a Poa annua reduction program, it is helpful to understand the amount of active ingredient that you are applying. This will vary with the product used. Any of Andersons' TGR and Turf Enhancer formulations can be used to successfully reduce and suppress Poa annua. Since nitrogen is necessary for enhancing the effect of paclobutrazol, Andersons' granular TGR and Turf Enhancer formulations are excellent choices. All of our products are SGN 100 particle sizing and can be used on all turf areas, including bentgrass greens.
