Phoenix Environmental Care’s Monarch plant growth regulator works to reduce the frequency of mowing and clippings while promoting turf root strength and lateral development. Containing the active ingredient Paclobutrazol (22.3 percent), Monarch slows vegetative growth by inhibiting gibberellins biosynthesis as it moves upward through the xylem of turfgrass. Monarch also inhibits Poa Annua growth on golf courses and other highly maintained areas and is ideal for use on St. Augustine, Bermuda and similar warm-season grasses in addition to Bluegrass, Ryegrass, Fescue, Bentgrass and similar cool-season grasses.
Monarch makes golf course superintendents’ jobs easier by slowing the growth of turfgrass. One application of Monarch reduces mowing and clippings for six to eight weeks on courses and is even rainfast in a short period of time.
