Abstract/Contents:Profiles plant growth regulators (PGRs), highlighting potential benefits of using PGRs for turf and ornamentals. Suggests that PGRs "suppress turf growth during overseeding to give young seedlings a quick start"; "can differentially suppress growth of various turfgrass species, giving the desirable turfgrass a competitive advantage over Poa annua"; "reduce trimming needs for trees and shrubs"; and "suppress sucker and sprout growth." States that "to successfully integrate PRGs into [a] maintenance program, it's important to carefully balance the cost of the application with the anticipated savings in maintenance." Presents tables as "a general guide to PGRs available for turf and landscaping ornamental use," recommending to "use them for preliminary planning only."
