Abstract/Contents:Discusses the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) to improve quality of turf, stating that "on high-use fields that are continuously used throughout the year, spraying a PGR may not be the best idea. But, on a field that is only used in the fall, like a football stadium field with moderate wear, applying a PGR can help improve surface stability." Concludes from research that PGRs containing trinexapac-ethyl (TE) "can pre-condition athletic fields before the stresses of a football season...They can be another tool for improving field playability."
