Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to "elvaluate selected growth regulators for turfgrass color and the seedhead suppression of annual bluegrass under fairway height conditions." States that "this study was conducted on a mature stand of annual bluegrass (Poa annua)." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the study was a randomized complete block design with three replications. The April 14th, 2005 application of materials was a forsythia full bloom. The turf was maintained using cultural practices for irrigation, mowing, and fertilization that would be typical for a fairway." Reports that "turfgrass color was rated five times...Unacceptable color was rated on April 4 for turfgrass treated with the combination of Primo plus Proxy...All treated turfgrassss had significantly more seedhead suppression than non-treated. The greatest amount of seedhead suppression provided was 23.3% Although significantly different than non-treated turfgrass, a 23.3% reduction in annual bluegrass seedhead may not be a sufficient reduction for most turfgrass managers."
