About ProGibb SmartGrass
ProGibb® SG contains a natural plant growth regulator formulated as a unique low dose water soluble granule formulation for use in pasture farming systems.
By augmenting the natural level of gibberellins contained in plant tissue, it makes leaves grow longer and faster, thus creating significant gains in dry matter yield. This is particularly evident in the cooler months of the year (autumn through to spring) when pasture growth rates have naturally slowed.
Welcome
Pasture depletion during cooler months affects farm income as a consequence of increased costs caused by supplementary feeding. ProGibb SG effectively increases grass growth and feed quality during periods of reduced winter pasture production.
