Trinexapac-Ethyl

Type: Growth Regulator

Mode of Action: Inhibiting biosynthesis of Gibberellins

Common Product Names: Primo Maxx

What is it?

Trinexapac-ethyl is a synthetic plant growth regulator widely used in agriculture, turf management, and horticulture. It is particularly effective in managing the growth of grasses and cereals, enhancing the quality and durability of turf on golf courses, sports fields, and lawns. This active ingredient is also used in cereal crops to reduce lodging, which is the bending over of stems near the ground level.

How does it work?

When applied to plants, trinexapac-ethyl is absorbed through the leaves and transported to the growing points. By inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, it slows down cell elongation, resulting in shorter, thicker stems. This leads to more compact and sturdy plants with improved resistance to environmental stresses such as heavy rainfall or wind, which can cause lodging in cereal crops. In turf management, it helps maintain a dense, uniform grass surface with reduced mowing requirements.

Benefits

  • Improved Plant Stability: By reducing stem elongation, trinexapac-ethyl helps plants develop stronger, more resilient structures that are less prone to lodging and damage from environmental factors.
  • Enhanced Turf Quality: In turf management, trinexapac-ethyl promotes a denser, more uniform grass surface, which is aesthetically pleasing and functionally superior for sports and recreational activities.
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: The growth-regulating effects of trinexapac-ethyl lead to reduced mowing frequency and lower maintenance costs for turf and lawn care.
  • Higher Crop Yields: By preventing lodging in cereal crops, trinexapac-ethyl can contribute to higher crop yields and better harvest quality.
  • Environmental Benefits: The use of trinexapac-ethyl can reduce the need for mechanical interventions and chemical applications, contributing to more sustainable agricultural and horticultural practices.
