Profile™ 2SC

Profile is a plant growth regulator used by professional arborists and utility foresters for management of tree shoot growth and reduction of biomass. Profile may suppress “dbh” growth, or diameter at breast height, which benefits trees growing in municipal vaults and other confined areas. Profile also offers potential therapy for trees in mild decline.

Features
Benefits

Slows growth
One treatment with Profile can reduce growth by 40 - 60% over a 3-year period

Improves rooting
Increased fine root density has been observed in oak, elm, and maple trees, which can be beneficial to trees in mild decline

Stress tolerance
Re-allocation of resources to defense and storage may allow trees treated with Profile to better hand drought, heat, and pollution

How it works

• The active ingredient in Profile is a xylem mobile plant growth regulator which inhibits the production of gibberellic acid, slowing vegetative growth and allowing the tree to re-allocate resources toward enhancing its defensive, storage, reproductive, and root systems.
• This reduces the volume of biomass that must be removed from trees when trimming occurs and extends the trimming cycle.

Why it’s important

• Much of the energy of a tree is directed towards growth, and the rate of growth is directly related to the rate of energy use.
• Fast growing trees tend to have shorter lives than trees that grow slowly and can allocate more energy away from the canopy.
• Profile slows a tree’s growing process, possibly extending the life of healthy trees while serving as an effective preventive or rehabilitative treatment for trees growing in stressful conditions.

Important: Product availability varies by state. Before purchasing, please verify that the product you wish to order is registered for use in your state by checking the “Registered States”. Some states have additional restrictions or prohibitions on certain aquatic herbicides and algaecides.
