Express®

Important Information

• BENEFITS

  ​Express is a water soluble formulation of the naturally occurring gibberellic acid GA3.

  When applied correctly, Express will stimulate extra pasture production when extra feed is needed in late winter/early spring and late autumn/early winter, when natural pasture growth is limited by cooler soil temperatures.

  This can help supplement temporary feed shortages.

  The use of Express is best suited to rotationally grazed pastures.

• APPLICATION

  Express can be applied with conventional spraying equipment correctly calibrated to apply a minimum of 100 litres of water/ha.  Water should be close to neutral with a pH of less than 8.5. Always add a suitable non-ionic wetting agent, such as Widespread® 1000 , at label rates.

  Where appropriate, the application of Nitrogen just prior to, or with Express can improve the response.

• MODE OF ACTION

  Express is a soluble formulation of the naturally occurring gibberellic acid GA3.  Gibberellic acid acts as a plant growth regulator and influences many plant processes including; cell pision, cell elongation, flowering, fruiting and seed germination.
