| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "ascertain the influence of various materials, including cytokinins and cytokinin-like substances, on enhancing turfgrass root development." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "experiments were conducted to evaluate selected chemicals on rooting of Plush Kentucky bluegrass and Rebel tall fescue sod." Reports that "Banner at 29.6 g [grams] (1 oz. [ounce]/1000 sq. ft. [square feet]) applied in the fall would provide a 25% increase in sod strength and 35% root enahncement of transplanted sod by early June." |
