Abstract/Contents: | Brief summary of a study by North Carolina State University researchers designed to "evaluate the effects of selected growth retardants and fertilizers on the turf color, height, seedhead suppression, root growth and stand density of 'Kentucky 3l' tall fescue. The three, spring-applied growth retardants tested were mefluidide at 0.14 kg ha-1, maleic hydrazide at 4.5 kg ha-1, and a combination of mefluidide plus flurprimidol at 0.3 + 0.8 kg ha-1. The three fertilizers were 2-1-1 ratio ammonium sulfate blend at 160 g N kg-1, ammonium mitrate at 330 g N kg-1, and ammonium sulfate liquor (ASL) at 70 g N kg-1. Each fertilizer was applied at 39 and 78 kg N ha-1 in October of 1981 and 1982. A single ASL treatment also was applied in 1981 at 78 kg N ha-1. Mefluidide plus flurprimidol and maleic hydrazide treatments reduced cumulative turf height 40% and suppressed seedhead formation up to 95% for six to eight weekds. mefluidide alone reduced turf height by 20% during this period. Fall fertilization of tall fescue improved turf color following spring growth retardant application. No interactions between fertilizer sources and growth retardant treatments were observed except for cumulative turf height at seven and nine weeks after treatment in 1983. Turf responses to fertilizer sources were equivalent, but higher rates of application improved color and increased turf height and seedhead numbers." |
