New ProForce Padre 270 Plant Growth Regulator Simplifies Vegetation Management
Indigo Specialty Products has announced the launch of ProForce® Padre 270 Plant Growth Regulator, a new solution designed to reduce mowing frequency and improve the appearance and stability of grassed areas in low-maintenance environments such as roadsides, rights-of-way and industrial sites.
Formulated in Australia, ProForce Padre 270 contains 270 g/L Maleic Hydrazide (MH) and provides reliable growth suppression of Bahia Grass and Kikuyu for up to 12 to 16 weeks.
The result is a tidier sward, reduced seedhead formation and improved erosion control, making it a cost-effective alternative to frequent mowing or repeated herbicide applications.
"ProForce Padre 270 allows councils, contractors and land managers to maintain safer, tidier verges and embankments while significantly reducing labour and equipment costs," said Peter Kirby, General Manager of Indigo Specialty Products.
Research has shown a 70 to 90 percent reduction in seedhead formation of Bahia Grass and other roadside species within four to eight weeks of application, extending mowing intervals and improving site presentation and safety.
ProForce Padre 270 Plant Growth Regulator is available now through Indigo Specialty Products' distribution network.
