Why You Should Be Using Plant Growth Regulator On Your Lawn | All About PGR 

Great advice on warm season grass. The 1st time I applied on my Bermuda it did turn a lil yellow. The 2nd time I added liquid iron no yellowing at all. Thanks you mate!

Loads of great info here, I certainly hit that rebound phase a week ago, the lawn went nuts! I'll be reapplying according to the GDD on Monday after seeing this video.

Definitely going to be looking into this a bit more. Thanks Ben!

Spittin' some mad knowledge there bro! Great video!

Thanks again, brother! Another great video......thanks for the info. Been a little curious about PGR. Thank you for answering several of the questions I had! ✌️

You are a funny bugger, good job cobber, keep up the well informing content

Great stuff Ben, I've been using a GDD tracker too and the re applications have been spot on! P.S. Gangster spray pants... lol

great vid mate !

Great Vid Ben! Very informative! I think I am going to try on my Rye in NY this year with T-Nex. Nice to see your fungus issue is almost gone like 99% Appreciate all your vids!

Thank you so much for this episode.

Great video Ben, the knowledge just oozing out in this video. Thanks for sharing.😁👍👍

Looking sharp as always man! Glad it all green again!

Thanks man, this is a really good video. I learned alot

Thanks Ben for covering PGR! I plan to add it to my arsenal when my Bermuda grass is actively growing next year in the springtime “Yo mate..What up? Welcome back to another lawn tip vid... Wink (gotta love that Aussie accent) LOL!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger myself. But from what I have seen, you have to hit the reapplication timing right on the money. I'm going to be very careful with that.

I'm trying it this year!

He is such a lawn nerd, to cute. 😂💕

Great vid Ben thanks for making it. With the GDD spreadsheet, how did you know what to put in the application rate box that is oz/acre ?

The best PGR video I've seen, well done. I'll be trying it out if I can get some locals to do a group buy.

Bruv super helpful and informative vid. Am From Detroit MI and i hate having to cut my acre of lawn once a week or else it gets out of hand. Will be looking into this stuff this spring. Will definitely be worth gettin this stuff because all that time saved from not mowing.

Really like the no shrub look you have .

The most overlooked product by a domestic user, hopefully help me get down to the lower heights next year

Great looking lawn! Do you know if it will work on weeds also or just turf? I have a really deep drainage ditch I want to spray if it will help slow down the growth but it's mostly weeds.

Best one-stop PGR video, bar none!!!! I use the same PGR on a 1/4" hybrid bermuda in central Oklahoma and I will vouch for everything said here. It's essential. It's as if the scientists all had my grass-type with it's normal every-other-day mowing requirement and said, "To hell with this. Let's invent something that turns this particular grass type into an asset." I preach it in my neighborhood but no one listens. They derisively call my yard astroturf. They get seed heads a couple days after a mow and I never do. They pay someone to run a rotary mower over their 3" high grass once a week, and I use my manual reel every 10 days or so just to enjoy the mow and keep everything super-fine. I also used min and max rates at first to test it and saw the results you mentioned....some yellowing and over suppression on the max rate area, but in the end it barely added 20-25% to the longevity. I only use minimum rate now. Great point on bare spots. HowToWithDoc has a good video on how to accelerate fill-in for bermuda and other grasses that spread via stolons. It's very expensive stuff in bulk (a gallon), but the application cost is very, very low (about $0.25/1000 sq ft every 3-4 weeks in the heat of the summer). Being able to go on an extended vacation and not have to hire someone to mow once or twice (or 4-5x) while you're gone will more than cover your investment costs. Be very careful where you buy it. If certain countries are knocking-off every consumer good in sight to earn mere pennies on the dollar (They're now doing boardgames. Boardgames!!), you know there must be HUGE potential for diluting this stuff down or not making the real thing at all. I use DoMyOwn and hope they're very careful abut their sourcing. Amazon has it cheaper but I have no idea where it really came from. Now, if I could just get my pH down from 8.3 (it's on new construction where a hill once was....so I'm growing on post-dust bowl Okie subsoil) I'll REALLY get some derisive comments from the neighbors.

Cutless baby! ;) helps contain poa annua and its seedhead. Increases plant density 🌱 which is great! We use it all the time on the course. Great vid mate.

Hey mate. Love your vids👍🏼 How soon after laying winter rye could you apply PGR primo maxx? Cheers mate.

Nice #lawngoals shirt Ryan also makes awesome videos

Use it on Poa every week my man, 400ml ha with 5kg of N and the poa LOVES it.

Watching this vid from Carcoar - can't convince my holiday mates to make the trip to Orange to see your lawn (some people just don't get it)

@lawntips what’s the song/artist at the end of this video? As always, beautiful lawn, boi!

Following this channel before laying my turf. Been a great help mate. When is the earliest I can topdress? Im not in a flat area thus its easy to scalp during mowing. The turf has been in for a month now

Any advice on germination of warm season grasses in a part shade setting? I'm struggling to get Zoysia to germinate and need help!

Welp missed this first... but pgr is great stuff! Great vid mate! Sick wink tho.... 😏

Couple questions. Is it best to water the lawn a day or two before application? Is it ok to continue your normal irrigation schedule after applying PGR (after it dries according to label)? Thanks...

I'm going to be applying pgr this year here in Minnesota. One question I have would be what if you applied half dose or 1/3 dose at 100 GDD or 150 GDD? would you have isues or would you see a more sustained balance of growth?

Hahahahaha great “yo mate” 😉

How many applications of t nex are needed for golf course look? I’ve done my second application already

Which temperature should i use on the gdd tracker

I think a teaching job at Orange TAFE is on the cards. Great vid Ben.

Just subscribed! Question: My lawncare service company recommended an optional PGR application treatment over 5 applications during the summer. The cost of the 5 treatments is $225. Can I do this myself and what are the benefits of PGR?

Hey mate that was absolute quality and you have a new subscriber 👌 I have Nullabour Couch Sunshine Coast which is going great and I'm keen to take it next level with some primo max. I'll be applying lawn pride GreenXtra liquid fert at the same time. Any links you might have that might help would be great. I'm thinking I'll keep the first application on the low end and just go 10ml/100sqm and see how it goes...would you recommend anything else? How would you time the mowing for a first application?

Any tips to help with brown patches from your pets using at as public loo?

Pretty in-depth stuff there mate...lawn sure looks good! Let's see: 6 points clear at the top ✔ Undefeated in league ✔ Champions League Quarterfinals ✔ Pretty good first half of the season! YNWA

Would i get away with using special FEX with my PGR application in place of iron? Yjanks for all the info!

I know I unearthed an old topic like an archaeologist, but I wanted to ask. I did overseeding in the spring, it is just over a month from the seeding, you can see seeds have sprouted in many places. The nests where they are still really small. But the old lawn is growing like crazy. Does applying PGR make any sense at this point?

I have a thin Bermuda lawn that isn't very thick. Would using this product during growing season help or hurt?

Thanks Ben Great info on pgr. Where is the best place to source it from ? I have wintergreen couch. Cheers mate.

Is the GDD of 200 the same for cool season grass in Pennsylvania?

hey m8 any tips for residential application of anuew? im applying scotts thickr product in about 2 weeks. we have a lot of growth in the end of may and start of june

4:23 peril or discretion 😅 By the way Syngenta have a GDD alerting service that sends email alerts. Really easy to setup. Even if you’re not using their products you could still use it.

Do i need to cut my lawn short so t nex can work , cause i cut my lawn 3 and a quarter inch ?

Can I apply this using a hand sprayer like the Ortho Dial n spray?

5 years out, looking to apply. What rates did you go on at? as per label?

The benefits make me want to use it, but I just love mowing every other day :P

I would love one of them t-shirts. #lawngoals.

do another video on mats lawn

Can you apply near tree's in lawn?

Question1:The base temperature,is it constant? Cos am in Africa and we don't experience those kinda temperature lows? Or it's just to compute the app dates? Question2: in your vid u said we are tryna add up to a growing degree day of 200 but going forward as soon as it adds up 100 you re-apply? Am confused?

Can you mix it also with seaweed next to iron sulfate?

Hey mate how you , im using tnex but it says no more than 7 ounces per season , so how many gdd should i re apply it ? , and lets say i do 20 applications per season , how much tnex for each application? But can not use more than 7 ounces

How many times can you apply it cause direction says no more than 7oz per 1000 sq fr in a year

Looks like all the discoloration from the disease grew out. That green is spectacular!

Awesome stuff does it make your hair grow back?

I have 1250 sq ft of cool season lawn , how much t nex can i apply to a 2 gallon of water . Label says .75 per 1000 sq ft

Hi, I would like to where you buy your Rye grass seed. Have couch grass and looking to over sow. Would you recommend rye seed ?. Regards Stephen.

Hey Ben - can you use this on tall fescue / kentucky blue (Canturf) blend?

I can't seem to find this product. Can you post a link please

I bought some Astro 120 ME about six months ago, expecting to use it for this spring and summer. I'm embarrassed to say the lid on it is so tight I can't get the bottle open! LOL

where do i buy this in qld?

Hi, just had a look at the price of this stuff in the UK and it's over £300 for a can. Is this right?

Can I use it on my Kentucky Blue grass? I have a blend of rye,couch and Kentucky

I never have had seeds in my gooch

The lawn growth regulator always gives crazy Results. USE IT

I’m wondering with all consideration of the video which is awesome is it safe for your pets to eat the grass after it’s been absorbed by the plant

❤❤

GDD tracker link doesn't work anymore ☹

Does this have any effect on trees, such as the one in your parkway?

"Don't apply over 25 degrees..." (/scrambles to google C/F conversion)....Agreed!

Definitely want to stop them seeds from popping up in the cooch!

How safe is it to the dogs that play on the grass, eat bones and may consume some of the treated grass
