Abstract/Contents:Presents the idea that "successful course management is based on turfgrass quality and not total yield". Suggests that plant growth regulators (PGRs) may provide "more consistent putting surfaces and may further enhance turfgrass color and quality". Profiles trinexapac-ethyl (TE), "the most popular PGR in the turfgrass industry". States that "research demonstrates TE improves turf grown under stressful conditions that would otherwise result in poor turf quality and substandard rooting." Describes experiments conducted at the Clemson (South Carolina) University Greenhouse from September 2002 to May 2003. Concludes that "despite minimal to no phytotoxicity with TE in the controlled greenhouse environment, early summer applications may result in undesirable discoloration. Turf injury, however, could be minimized by rationing TE treatments in low rates at more frequent intervals".
