Abstract/Contents:States that hybrid bermudagrass putting greens "require intense management practices to promote surface uniformity and ball roll consistency". Discusses the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs), expecially trinexapac-ethyl (TE), a gibberellic acid inhibitor. PGRs are "commonly implemented to enhance putting green ball roll distances". Describes field experiments conducted at the Turf Service Center, Clemson (S.C.) University over a 12 week period. Concludes that "turf managers who incorporate TE into dwarf bermudagrass management will have an effective tool for enhancing putting green ball roll. Inhibiting dwarf bermudagrass shoot growth with TE also enhances chlorophyll concentrations, inhibits seedhead formation, improves nutrient-use efficiency and delays winter dormancy".
