## Overview

Atticus Pramaxis MEC is a professional-grade plant growth regulator featuring 11.3% trinexapac-ethyl, trusted for over 30 years to enhance turfgrass quality by slowing vertical growth while promoting robust root development. Ideal for both cool- and warm-season turf, it reduces mowing frequency and clipping volume, saving labor and equipment costs. Its advanced microemulsion concentrate ensures easy mixing and compatibility with other treatments, making it a must-have for golf courses, athletic fields, and manicured lawns aiming for resilient, stress-tolerant turf.

## Description

To improve the stress tolerance and manage growth of warm and cool season turfgrasses, use Pramaxis MEC. Not only will Pramaxis MEC boost the beauty of turf, it will also enhance playability on golf courses, and conserve valuable resources like labor and equipment. Multiple applications along with cultural practices such as fertilization, irrigation, drainage, mowing height, etc., will delay the onset of stress, improve stressed turfgrass survival, and enhance turf’s recovery from stress. It can also be used for edging in warm and cool season turfgrasses. With application, vertical shoot growth is slowed, but lateral and below-ground growth is stimulated so you can expect results of denser, healthier turf, ready to withstand drought, disease, and stress.

Review: Great for reducing mowing - I bought this to keep my lawn from growing too much while I was on vacation. I mow twice per week. It did the trick and lasts maybe another 6-8 weeks. It might have thickened up my lawn as well.
Review: Wow, this stuff WORKS!!! - After mixing and applying (@ the recommended rates) this onto my 800 Sq.ft Bermuda Front lawn, beginning 24 hours later -- we received a massive total of 5 inches of rain over the next 3 days. Prior to application, I cut my Bermuda to 2 inches. After 11 days and boatloads of rain, my grass appears to have grown ONLY 1/2 inch. Wow, impressive! Under normal conditions, I've ALWAYS had to cut my grass every 5 days... without exception. In fact, if we got at least 1-inch of rain, I'd have to cut it every 3 to 4 days! While this stuff is expensive, it is worth every single penny. The resulting MASSIVE TIME-SAVINGS that comes with it... Mission accomplished. My only regret: that I hadn't heard about this stuff years ago!

## Features

- TRIED AND TRUSTED PGR: Pramaxis MEC contains 11.3% trinexapac-ethyl; the same active ingredient as Primo Maxx Plant Growth Regulator. For more than 30 years, trinexapac-ethyl has been the active professional turf managers trust for improved turfgrass quality and growth management.
- GROW STRESS TOLERANCE: Pramaxis MEC promotes below-ground root and rhizome growth for improved root mass and turfgrass quality. Combined with best cultural practices, treated areas can better withstand stressors such as mowing, drought, heat, and disease.
- LIGHTEN THE LABOR LOAD: Reduce mowing frequency and clipping amount with Pramaxis MEC. Labeled for cool- and warm-season turfgrasses, Pramaxis MEC slows vertical growth which saves labor and equipment. Pramaxis MEC is ideal for nearly all managed turf areas including lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields and is especially helpful in frequent-mow or difficult-to-mow areas.
- EASY-MIX FORMULA: You have better tasks to tend than mixing and re-mixing. Our advanced microemulsion concentrate (MEC) is made with extremely small particles making it easy to blend into solution. Once mixed, it resists settling, eliminating the need for further agitation. Pramaxis MEC is highly tank-mix compatible with many other pesticides and liquid fertilizers saving on application trips. Always read the product label for complete compatibility, mixing, and application instructions.
- MAKE A LASTING MARK: Pramaxis MEC may be applied before or with your marking agent to extend its visibility timeline. When applying Pramaxis MEC with a marking agent, mix Pramaxis MEC first with water, then combine with a latex-based marking agent. Refer to the Pramaxis MEC product label as well as the marking agent’s product label for complete mixing instructions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for reducing mowing
*by V***W on January 4, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, this stuff WORKS!!!
*by B***D on June 2, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cost per OZ
*by B***N on August 17, 2023*

I've been using the Pramaxis MEC Plant Growth Regulator (8 oz) by Atticus on my plants, and I'm seriously impressed with the way my grass has been thriving. The results are fantastic, but there's something you should know about the price. First, the good stuff. This plant growth regulator has done wonders for the grass. The turf look healthier, with more color and density. It's like they got a boost of energy! Using it is easy, and you don't need to use a lot each time, so the bottle lasts a while. But here's the thing: the price for each ounce of this stuff is pretty high. Yes, it works amazingly well, but it might make your wallet cringe a bit. Especially if you have a big yard, the cost can add up. Likewise there are other PGR's out there that are sold in larger quantities thus lowering the cost per OZ. That being said, if you're okay with spending a bit more for something in smaller quantities, then the Pramaxis MEC Plant Growth Regulator could be a good choice. Just remember that while it's a bit expensive per OZ, it is great for starting out with PGR with out buying in bulk.
