MaxiGibb is a high quality gibberellic acid. Despite its “chemical†sounding name, gibberellic acid is a naturally occurring plant hormone that accelerates the growth and elongation of cells. Or in plain English, it makes your grass grow faster and longer if it’s applied at the right time and in the right dose.
Results vary depending on the pasture and soil that it is applied to, and the time of year it is applied – but tests indicate dry matter production can be boosted by 30-60%. Grass not only tends to grow longer, but pasture is also much thicker and lusher than control samples where gibberellic acid has not been applied.
When should MaxiGibb be applied?
Because MaxiGibb is a growth accelerator, it should be applied when conditions are suitable for grass to grow. Typically this would be in spring and autumn – but this will vary from region to region. Increasingly, we are seeing farmers using MaxiGibb outside these times as their local conditions allow.
How should MaxiGibb be applied?
It is vital that grass is grazed prior to applying MaxiGibb. MaxiGibb should be applied 1-5 days after grazing when there is some green leaf present. Optimum results will occur when the soil temperature is between 6-13°C.
•Add MaxiGibb to at least 100L of water and a wetter surfactant such as AgLab’s StickerWetter at 25ml/100L.
•Apply MaxiGibb either aerially or using a boom sprayer.

How does MaxiGibb compare with other gibberellic acids on the market?
Not all gibberellic acids are created equal – the critical factor is in the concentration of gibberellic acid that you have bought. MaxiGibb has a high concentration of gibberellic acid – 900g/Kg. It is important when you compare MaxiGibb with other gibberellic acids that this figure is taken into account.
The easiest way to compare gibberellic acids is to work out a per hectare cost. Working this out allows you to compare products of a different strength and usage rate.
