| Abstract/Contents: | "Plant growth regulators were evaluated on common and African 'Tifway' bermudagrass. Flurprimidol plus mefluidide applied at 1.1 plus 0.14 kg ha-1 and followed by 0.56 plus 0.14 kg ha-1 at 2- to 3-week interval suppressed vegetative growth of mowed common bermudagrass for 5 wk (17 to 23%) and unmowed turf for 6 wk (40%), but severely injured the turf. The injury ranged from 25 to 32% from 2 to 6 wk after treatment. The plant growth regulators that injured common bermudagrass less than flurprimidol plus mefluidide did not suppress the mowed turf for as long a period. Vegetative growth of common bermudagrass not mowed was suppressed for 6 wk when treated once with flurprimidol plus mefluidide and twice with flurprimdol, mefluidide, imazethapyr, paclobutrazol (1.1 plus 1.1 kg ha-1), and paclobutrazol plus mefluidide. Of the plant growth regulators evaluated, only imazethapyr suppressed common bermudagrass seedheads. The suppression was 70 % for 4 wk, but reduced to <70% by 5 wk. Paclobutrazol applied initially at 1.1 kg ha-1 and followed at 0.56 kg ha-1 suppressed vegetative growth of mowed Tifway bermudagrass for 5 wk and unmowed turf for 8 wk without causing severe injury. The suppression of mowed Tifway bermudagrass with two applications of paclobutrazol was as good or better than with any other plant growth regulator. All plant growth regulators suppressed vegetative growth of unmowed Tifway bermudagrass for 8 wk." |
