PBI Gordon Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator

Atrimmec contains Dikegulac-sodium, which is a systemic regulator that temporarily blocks the plant's growth hormones. This process effectively pauses shoot elongation, which is why you see a significant reduction in the need for manual trimming.

When used according to the label, Atrimmec is safe for many landscape ornamentals. However, it is designed to slow growth, so you should avoid applying it to plants that are already stressed or in poor health.

Yes, Atrimmec is effective at preventing nuisance fruit formation on many tree species. By applying it at the correct time, you can inhibit the development of fruit for the remainder of the season.

Foliar spray is applied directly to the leaves for quick absorption, while bark banding and soil drenching are alternative methods that allow the plant to take up the regulator through the bark or root system. The best method depends on the specific type of plant and your desired outcome.

Atrimmec is designed as a once-per-season application. One treatment is typically sufficient to manage growth and reduce pruning labor for the duration of the active growing period.

While it is versatile, it is not suitable for every plant species. Always check the product label to ensure your specific trees or shrubs are listed as compatible before application.
