The Premier PGR for Turf Quality Enhancement and Poa Annua Suppression

For more compact growth form, choose Cutless Growth Regulator from SePro. Cutless MEC Growth Regulator is a Type II Class B plant growth regulator (PGR) that reduces blade length and stem internode elongation in turfgrasses.

Cutless Growth Regulator— Unique Chemistry, Outstanding Results

Cutless Plant Growth Regulator is the standard for outstanding results in the form of more compact growth form with a unique chemistry that makes the regulator highly efficient.

As a Type II Class B plant growth regulator, Cutless MEC label reduces leaf blade length and stem internode elongation. This growth regulation results from the suppression of gibberellic acid biosynthesis. To provide the best turfgrass enhancement and lessen the potential for discoloration, Cutless MEC applications should also be conjoined with an appropriate fertility program.

Cutless Growth Regulator’s Unique Chemistry

With the unique chemistry formulation and mode of action of Cutless Plant Growth Regulator comes outstanding results that last.

Cutless uses unique pyrimidine chemistry, which interrupts gibberellic acid functions. By causing this interruption, you can reduce plant growth without sacrificing development— a win, win for you!

With Cutless MEC label, individual plant cells continue to divide and grow at a reduced rate. Check out some other fantastic results you can expect to see thanks to such unique pyrimidine chemistry.

• Inhibited growth of some annual grasses such Poa annua, crabgrass, goosegrass, foxtail, and annual sedges
• Increased turf density with reduced mowing requirements
• Reduced leaf-area results in water conservation increases from 11-29%
• Reduced Poa annua populations by as much as 50-80% in the first year with programmed applications

Cutless Growth Regulator’s Active Ingredient

The active ingredient found in Cutless Growth Regulator Label is Flurpimidol. Flurpimidol helps reduce leaf blade length and stem internode elongation, resulting in more compact growth form.

With this active ingredient found in PGR, it targets the plants' hormonal system and changes the balance, modifying the basic design of the plant; thus, modifying the development of the plant, as well.

The Benefits of Using Cutless Growth Regulator
Expect consistent results from Cutless Plant Growth Regulator with its array of features and benefits. It provides unsurpassed turf quality and Poa annua conversion in cool- and warm-season turf, but the benefits don’t stop there.

Discover a range of high-performing features below and how those features can positively impact your turf healthy and golf course maintenance.

• Enhances turfgrass color and quality- Improves playability, striping, and overall aesthetics for ultimate gameplay
• Minimal impact to bentgrass germination- No need to delay applications around interseeding; allows for flexibility when timing applications around interseeding
• Suppresses Dollar Spot- Outbreaks will be less severe and frequent
• Efficient, controlled Poa annua suppression and conversion- Allows for flexibility in Poa suppression and conversion aggressiveness
• Reduces turf water use- Preserves Earth’s most precious resource and budgets
• Does not inhibit lateral regrowth- Rapid recovery of divots and ball marks

Turf Management Done Right with Cutless Growth Regulator
Cutless is the premier when it comes to turf quality enhancement. Not only can you expect to reduce shoot growth and clipping yield with Cutless MEC label, but you can also see improved results in terms of aesthetics and playability. What’s more, Cutless provides other health and stress tolerance benefits to your turf grass.

Be advised, turfgrass treated with Cutless may appear darker green in color. The color change may persist around 3-6 weeks once it appears after 1-2 weeks of treatment. To encourage healthy, vigorous turf growth, treated areas should be well managed.

Seamless Poa Annua Conversion with Cutless Growth Regulator
Use a PGR throughout the growing season to efficiently rid your course of Poa annua.  Cutless selectively suppresses the growth of Poa annua to a greater degree than desirable perennial turfgrass, like creeping bentgrass. This higher degree of selective suppression shifts the competitive growth advantage away from Poa annua and moves it towards creeping bentgrass.

With proper use of a PGR along with following a rigorous Cutless Program, you’ll notice that over time, creeping bentgrass is able to grow laterally, or “creep,” as its name implies. Bentgrass creeps into the suppressed Poa annua stand, resulting in a consistent and gradual conversion from Poa annua to creeping bentgrass with minimal disruption to playability!

Application & Restrictions
Cutless Growth Regulator is primarily root-absorbed. To maximize growth regulator activity, treated areas should receive 0.25-0.5” of rain or supplemental irrigation within 24 hours following the initial application and before the first mowing after treatment.

Please Note: Do not apply Cutless to putting greens other than bentgrass. Do not apply to overseeded bermudagrasses putting greens. Do not apply to sod farms or turfgrasses grown for seed. Do not apply to shrubs, bedding plants, and/or food plants. Do not apply during prolonged periods of hot/cold temperature or moisture stress. Please avoid applications during periods of extreme disease and insect pressure.

For a complete list of restrictions, please see the label.
