| Abstract/Contents: | "The growth regulators mefluidide, MBR 18337, ethephon, and EL-72500(two formulations) were applied to stands of tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass to evaluate growth suppression and phytotoxicity. Turfgrass color, density, and height were the parameters measured. On Kentucky bluegrass, both formulations of EL 72500 reduced the height of the grass up to 60% compared to the nonmowed check 8 weeks after treatment. The other chemicals reduced height by 18 to 32%. All chemicals except ethephon discolored bluegrass to some degree, while density was reduced by mefluidide and MBR 18337. By 5 weeks after treatment, EL 72500 reduced the height of tall fescue up to 42% compared to the nonmowed check. Tall fescue height was reduced 10 to 29% by the other chemicals. Mefluidide and EL 72500 caused some discoloration of the turf. Density was reduced only by mefluidide. EL 72500 shows promise as a growth regulator for use on turfgrass." |
