Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator – 1 Gallon
Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator
is a systemic plant growth regulator (PGR) that works by blocking the plant hormones that stimulate growth. Atrimmec applied as a foliar spray interrupts apical shoot elongation, so one application with one trimming can last the entire season. Spraying shrubs, hedges, trees, and groundcovers reduces trimming and pruning labor by 50% or more, and improves the appearance of landscape ornamentals by promoting lateral branching. This gives plants a denser, fuller look. Hedges and shrubs that show irregular shapes, including damage from pests and weather, can fill in lushly, even on the old wood.
Â
Atrimmec is labeled for bark banding and soil drench applications to reduce nuisance fruit and flower formation. Bark banding application is a quick, efficient and effective procedure accomplished by spraying the trunk of the targeted tree from a height of 4.5′ to 5′ to the soil surface. A single application of Atrimmec two to four weeks prior to early bud formation (pinhead size or smaller buds) can prevent undesired fruit for the season on certain landscape trees.
