Anuew™ is a proven plant growth regulator for sports field turfgrass, saving sports field managers and superintendents time with less mowing and fewer clippings while improving overall density, color and quality. Labeled for cool and warm season turf management, Anuew is a late-stage inhibitor that can be used on all managed areas to improve plant health and suppress seedheads, improving turfgrass management and decreasing labor.

TRUSTED AND PROVEN

  • Anuew has 15+ years of research and field experience, intensifying from 2016 onward with over 100 recent trials.
  • Anuew has been researched with 16 different cooperators at various universities and research sites.
  • Anuew has over 350 real-world field trial applications across a variety of turf species in the US and Canada.

 

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

  • Regulates turf growth leading to improved plant health and stress tolerance
  • More active and longer lasting on cool-season turf, equals more consistent and even growth regulation
  • Helps evenly regulate Poa in mixed stands and supports Poa suppression
  • Supports Poa and Zoysiagrass seedhead suppression
  • Reduces the potential for bronzing and overregulation of Bermudagrass collars and surrounds
  • Faster regulation in warm-season turf
  • Strong and effective regulator of Zoysiagrass and Kikuyugrass
  • Helps provide even regulation of Bermudagrass off-types within ultradwarf greens, improving appearance
  • Supports faster spring transition from overseeding by favoring the Bermudagrass turf
  • Easy to use liquid formulation

 

Cool Season BENEFITS

EXTENDED CONTROL

Gain an average of two extra regulation days for consistent suppression and fewer clippings, from day one to day 14.

Anuew™ delivers longer growth regulation (300 GDD) than Primo Maxx® (200 GDD) on creeping bentgrass greens.

FEWER CLIPPINGS

Even at lower use rates, Anuew delivers longer control in cool-season turf – saving labor and dollars with less applications, less mowing and less clippings.

Anuew™ reduces turf growth and mowing frequency resulting in fewer clippings and reduced clipping dry weight.

GREENER GRASS

Unlike early-stage inhibitors, Anuew shifts carbohydrates to the plant roots to visibly improve turfgrass quality, density and appearance.

warm Season benefits

FASTER SUPPRESSION

Anuew works differently than Primo Maxx® and many turf managers in the south are turning to a mix of Anuew and Primo. Reasons include faster suppression, forgiving collar regulation, and improved appearance. 

In Bermudagrass trials at NCSU, TN and GSSU, peak suppression occurred at approximately 95 GDD for Anuew™ compared with Primo Maxx® at approximately 170.

 


LESS BRONZING

Anuew enters the plant quicker and its softer chemistry results in greener color.

ELIMINATE COLLAR DECLINE

Anuew works with equal intensity, but shorter duration. The Anuew + Primo combo balances suppression and rebound to virtually eliminate the risk of over-regulation.

 


MASK BERMUDA MUTATIONS

Anuew camouflages mutations resulting in better, more uniform field appearance.

POA SEEDHEAD SUPPRESSION

Add flexibility by combining Proxy® and Anuew™. Anuew can widen the application window for a seedhead suppression application and relieve the pressure of a perfectly timed Proxy application.

Anuew EZ is unique and much stronger on Poa species than trinexapac-ethyl. This advantage can be utilized to suppress Poa in mixed species greens and fairways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


FAST RYE TRANSITION

Anuew is foliar absorbed so it will not delay overseeded ryegrass establishment. The result: less clippings and better appearance compared to Primo Maxx® regulated rye.
