New Cutless (0.33G) Granular Landscape Growth Regulator calibration trays are available from SePRO Corp.
The calibration trays are available free of charge to purchasers of Cutless Granular and allow applicators to quickly measure and adjust the amount of Cutless Granular dispersed by application equipment to match the desired application rate per 1,000 sq. ft.
Cutless Granular is a granular landscape growth regulator that is spread evenly under the dripline of hedges, shrubs and ground covers for shoot growth suppression resulting in more compact growth form and reduced trimming.
"The calibration trays will help applicators deliver the most accurate application rates of Cutless Granular to provide a cost-effective way to reduce the frequency and costs associated with pruning of hedges, shrubs and ground covers," said Roger Storey, vice president, T&O business for SePRO Corp. “In addition to improving profitability, Cutless Granular provides sustainability benefits like reduction of plant water use, reduced fuel use and emissions, less plant material sent to landfills and improved plant health and appearance.”
SePRO recently introduced a new granular carrier for Cutless 0.33G with improved release characteristics that will provide faster movement of the active ingredient into the soil, and quicker beneficial plant response.
The redesigned tray provides accurate calibration of the new Cutless Granular carrier. The Cutless Granular calibration tray should be placed on the ground in the spreading path. The applicator should then walk at their normal speed with the spreader or application equipment in operation. When the spreader is properly calibrated, the Cutless granules will fill the corner pocket of the tray exactly, corresponding to the application rate desired.
The Cutless Granular calibration tray provides the ability to calibrate four commonly used rates, 5, 10, 15 and 20 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.
