    Q
    It's June 13 so can I still use this product on my barberry bushes?
    A

    There is no specific time to use this product on barberry bushes.

  • Asked by Sheri from Escondido

    Q
    Which surfactant should I choose when using Atrimnmec Plant Growth Regulator?
    This is a quote from the label tips for bark banding: "when bark banding or soil drenching a 100% organosilicone surfactant is necessary." Can you tell me which surfactant I should purchase that fits this specification?
    A

    When using Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator you would want to use a surfactant like Prime Source Duo Stick. This is going to be a proprietary blend of methylated seed oil and organosilicone surfactants.

  • Asked by John from Fayetteville, Arkansas

    Q
    Can you apply Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator without trimming in early spring?
    I trim my properties neatly in the fall and winter. I would like to know if you can apply early spring without trimming and before bushes start to grow vigorously. Or if it is necessary to first cut or trim and then apply within 36 hours. Early- mid summer is very busy time of year and I would like to avoid trimming then. Last year I applied after trimming in July and it lasted until fall/winter with light growth.
    A

    According to the product label for Atrimmec PGR: For a more formal appearance: Trim the shrub or groundcover to shape, leaving at least two pairs of extended leaves on each shoot to absorb the spray. Apply this product within three days. For a more natural appearance: Either trim only the long…

  • Asked by Sherrie from Ks
    04/13/2021
    Q
    What is the Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) mode of action?
    A

    Dikegulac sodium is translocated to its apical meristems, where it inhibits DNA synthesis. This suppresses apical dominance in the plant and can stimulate lateral branching, resulting in a bushier growth habit. Dikegulac sodium is sometimes used to inhibit fruiting and flowering.

    I have a 15 yr. old cherry tree, and a 10 yr. old Sweet Bay Magnolia. Also, does this work on boxberry and crimson barberry? Are the directions on the label?

Small trees up to 16 feet require 1-5 gallons per tree, and larger trees 20-30 feet require 10-15 gallons of solution per tree. Thorough coverage provides best results. Both cher…

    Q
    Can Atrimmec be applied to the roots to reduce ficus berries?
    Trees are far to big and neighbor has a pool so spraying is not an option. Can this be added to the roots to stop berries or reduce the amount from forming? Thank you.

    Can Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) be used in a Sthil Fogger/Sprayer to treat large hedges?

    Q
    Is your Atrazine 4% the same strength as Atrazine 4% at Lowes?
    I need broadleaf weed killer for St. Augustine and Centipede grass. Is Atrazine the best thing for these broadleaf weeds in Florida? also, is All Atrazine 4 % the same?
    A

    We can only speak to the products that we carry as we are unfamiliar with products that are sold at Lowes. The Atrazine products that we carry are a 4% concentration and work very well to control the weeds listed on the product label.
