Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted by the United States Golf Association (USGA) to "1. Isolate and identify bacteria and other microorganisms associated with etiolated creeping bentgrass. 2. Determine if bacteria associated with etiolated bentgrass produce gibberellic acid or modulate its production by turf plants. 3. Investigate the influence of biostimulant and growth regulator programs on bentgrass etiolation." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the trial was arranged in a factorial design with 5 biostimulant treatments (Knife Plus, CytoGro, Astron, Nitrozyme, and Untreated) applied alone and in combination with weekly or biweekly applications of trinexapac-ethyl." Reports that "biostimulants showed no effect on etiolation during the fall of 2011 when etiolation developed naturally." Concludes that "etiolation symptoms have not been observed during the fall of 2012."
