Don't Let Seedheads Stand In The Way

9/9/2020 - By Rick Fletcher

Seedhead suppression is a real science. That’s why we’ve run trial after trial to uncover best solutions for proven Poa seedhead reduction. The results may surprise you.

A PGR COMBO DELIVERS PUNCH AND FLEXIBILITY

Achieve top suppression results plus added flexibility by combining Proxy® and Anuew™. Anuew can widen the application window for a seedhead suppression application and relieve the pressure of a perfectly timed Proxy application.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION // A STEP APPROACH TO SEEDHEAD REDUCTION

Anuew provides great seedhead reduction at a 2 - 4 oz step approach while eliminating the initial flashing of the higher rates.

SOLUTION FOR // WARM-SEASON TURFGRASS

FASTER SUPPRESSION IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

In warm-season species, Anuew™ works differently than Primo Maxx® and many superintendents in the south are turning to a mix of Anuew and Primo. Reasons include faster suppression, forgiving collar regulation, and improved appearance and playability – making both managers and members very happy.

REGULATE BETTER WITH FASTER SUPPRESSION + GREENER COLOR

Anuew enters the plant quicker and its softer chemistry results in less bronzing.

SAY GOODBYE TO COLLAR DECLINE

Anuew works with equal intensity, but shorter duration effect to virtually eliminate the risk of over-regulation. The Anuew + Primo combo balances suppression and rebound while maintaining appearance and health. Over-spray on collars from weekly green sprays won’t lead to collar burnout from regulation overload.

BEST PRACTICES

  • Use enough volume to wet turfgrass without significant runoff.
  • Do not irrigate or water treated areas within 4 hours of application.
  • Include a non-ionic surfactant for improved coverage and performance consistency.
  • Include 1 lb ammonium sulfate per pound of Anuew if water source is hard (> 140ppm calcium).
