T-NEX® Turf Growth Regulator (Trinexapac-ethyl 12%)
T-NEX® is a professional-grade plant growth regulator designed to slow turf growth, reduce mowing frequency, and improve overall turf quality. Powered by trinexapac-ethyl—the same active ingredient used in Primo MAXX®—T-NEX® helps your lawn grow denser, greener, and more stress-tolerant while producing fewer clippings.
When applied properly, T-NEX® redirects energy from top growth to root development, resulting in stronger turf with improved drought, heat, and traffic tolerance.
