Key Features

  • TRIED AND TRUSTED PGR: Pramaxis MEC contains 11.3% trinexapac-ethyl; the same active ingredient as Primo Maxx Plant Growth Regulator. For more than 30 years, trinexapac-ethyl has been the active professional turf managers trust for improved turfgrass quality and growth management.
  • GROW STRESS TOLERANCE: Pramaxis MEC promotes below-ground root and rhizome growth for improved root mass and turfgrass quality. Combined with best cultural practices, treated areas can better withstand stressors such as mowing, drought, heat, and disease.
  • LIGHTEN THE LABOR LOAD: Reduce mowing frequency and clipping amount with Pramaxis MEC. Labeled for cool- and warm-season turfgrasses, Pramaxis MEC slows vertical growth which saves labor and equipment. Pramaxis MEC is ideal for nearly all managed turf areas including lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields and is especially helpful in frequent-mow or difficult-to-mow areas.
  • EASY-MIX FORMULA: You have better tasks to tend than mixing and re-mixing. Our advanced microemulsion concentrate (MEC) is made with extremely small particles making it easy to blend into solution. Once mixed, it resists settling, eliminating the need for further agitation. Pramaxis MEC is highly tank-mix compatible with many other pesticides and liquid fertilizers saving on application trips. Always read the product label for complete compatibility, mixing, and application instructions.
  • MAKE A LASTING MARK: Pramaxis MEC may be applied before or with your marking agent to extend its visibility timeline. When applying Pramaxis MEC with a marking agent, mix Pramaxis MEC first with water, then combine with a latex-based marking agent. Refer to the Pramaxis MEC product label as well as the marking agent’s product label for complete mixing instructions.
  • NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN ALASKA, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, HAWAII, NEW YORK OR VERMONT. Always read and follow label instructions. Not all products are registered for use in every state.
