New Praxys makes turf perfect

Scotts Professional has launched a new selective post-emergence herbicide which kills turf weeds in one hit.

Praxys combines the three most powerful active ingredients on the market, Florasulam, Floroxypyr and Clopyralid to wipe out weeds on golf courses, sports and amenity turf and lawns in one application.

Suitable for use on established turf between March and October, it enters the foliage rapidly, becoming rainfast in one hour before spreading through the whole plant ensuring total destruction.

The extremely low dose rate, from one litre per hectare, is flexible depending on the weed spectrum to be controlled. Low dose means less packaging and less waste and because only one application is required, it also makes Praxys the most cost-effective option available.

Nia Frost, Scotts' technical manager for control products explained how the product excelled in trials: "Praxys has been developed and extensively trialled in the UK and Europe over the last two years where results have shown just how effective it is in one application. In addition to common weeds like daisy and dandelion, it completely kills more problematic ones such as Self-heal, Ribwort Plantain and Spear Thistle and with no LERAP restrictions, it is ideal for use alongside water features, lakes and drainage channels."
