Abstract/Contents:"Growth regulators have recently been developed for use in suppressing shoot growth and hence reduce the mowing requirements of turfgrasses. Used along highway roadside, they have the potential of lowering mowing, labor, and equipment maintenance costs. Seedhead growth contributes significantly to the total turf height along roadways, particularly in tall fescue. Seedheads can become a fire hazard, increase the need for mowing, smother the existing turf once mowed and limit the line-of-sight along roadsides. The characteristics and use of several commercial and experimental growth retardants for turf are presented in Table 1." Listed also are the plant growth regulators which have attained tall fescue seedhead suppression under roadside conditions.
