| Abstract/Contents: | "'Baron' Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), 'Kentucky 31' tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), and 'Reliant' hard fescue (Festuca ovina var. duriuscula L. Koch.) were treated with N-[2,4-dimethyl-5-[[(trifluromethyl)sulfonyl]amino]phenyl] acetamide (Mefluidide) at 0.28 and 0.56 kg/ha, (2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid (ethepon) at 2.24, 4.48 or 6.72 kg/ha, and 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,4,5,9,10-pentaaza-tetracyclo [5,4,1,02,6,08,11]dodeca-3,9-diene (BAS 106 00 W) at 1.68, 3.36 and 5.04 kg/ha. Similar responses to all rates of mefluidide and BAS 106 00 W, and to the 2.24 kg/ha rate of ethephon were observed for Kentucky bluegrass and hard fescue. Tall fescue shoot growth was reduced by mefluidide and the BAS 106 00 W, but to a lesser extent than the other 2 species, and was not affected by ethepon. Ethepon elongated internodes and shortened leaf blades of Kentucky bluegrass. Ethepon at 2.24 kg/ha reduced Kentucky bluegrass clipping weight and increased root organic matter production without reducing quality." |
