In practice, the amount of growth regulation achieved will vary due to environmental conditions and turf management regimes. As a result, it is likely that application rates will need adjustment to match growing conditions, management practices and the quantity of growth regulation required. Repeat applications can be made as soon as turf resumes growth or more suppression is desired. ProForce Amigo 120ME Plant Growth Regulator should be applied to actively growing turf, at least 6 hours before or after mowing. Good mowing practices prior to application are required to maximise performance and achieve quality turf swards. Use the lower label rate in situations when turf is going dormant due to high or low temperatures, or lack of moisture. ### ProForce Amigo 120ME – Use Rates & Label Recommendations | Situation | Rate per 100m² | Rate per Hectare (10,000m²) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Golf Greens (including Poa management uses) | 4-20mL | 400mL-2L | | Bowling Greens – Bentgrass | 10-20mL | 1-2L | | Bowling Greens – Couch | 1.5-6mL | 150-600mL | | Fairways: | | | | Couch | 6-16mL | 600mL-1.6L | | Kikuyu | 16-40mL | 1.6-4L | | Cool Season | 16-30mL | 1.6-3L | | Short Roughs & Well Maintained Lawns & General Turf Surfaces | 10-60mL (turf species dependant) | 1-6L | | Long Roughs, Parks, Ovals, General Grasses Areas | 10-60mL | 1-6L | | Bunker Facing, Edging, Fencelines, Around Trees | 40-80mL | 4-8L | | Bahiagrass Grass suppression and seedhead control | 20-40mL + herbicide | 2-4L | ### Mode of Action The active ingredient in ProForce Amigo120ME, Trinexapac-ethyl inhibits gibberellic acid biosynthesis late in the pathway. This results in a significant reduction in cellular elongation and internode length. After application, new growth has shortened internodes, more tillers, and reduced vertical growth compared to untreated turf. Trinexapac-ethyl is rapidly absorbed by the plant’s leaves and crowns. The majority of uptake occurs within an hour of treatment. Absorption through roots is negligible, as the product is broken down in the soil environment quickly. ProForce Amigo 120ME is transported acropetally (upwards) in the xylem to the meristem, where cell elongation occurs. The systemic translocation properties of ProForce Amigo 120ME ensures even distribution of the active ingredient within the plant tissue. Full growth regulation with ProForce Amigo 120ME begins within 3-5 days of application. ### Maximising performance > ProForce Amigo 120ME is absorbed by leaf and stem tissue only. > It has no soil activity. Do not apply if rainfall is expected within 1 hour, and do not irrigate turf for at least 1 hour after application. > Apply in 100-500L/ha. Preferably between 350-500L/ha. > Application volume should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage. > Knapsack Application: Apply in 2-10L of water per 100m². • Do not apply to turf going into or coming out of dormancy. • Do not apply to turf recovering from wear, renovation or turf affected by disease, waterlogging or other stresses. • Be cautious using ProForce Amigo 120ME close to DMI fungicide applications (particularly Propiconazole). > Mowing: • Do not mow 4 hours post treatment. • Do not mow 1 hour pre treatment.
