Abstract/Contents:"Cloudy and rainy days during the rainy season in Japan add to cool-season turfgrass species growth. Thus, frequent mowing is needed to maintain the turf. In addition, wet conditions make mowing difficult and even dangerous in steep slopes. Therefore this experiment was conducted to determine the effect of PP333 (paclobutrazol) growth regulator on growth and quality of major cool-season turfgrass species. PP333 was applied at rates of 0, 0.9, 1.8, and 3.6 ml m-2 using 21.5% PP333 to eight turfgrass species in May 1989 and its effect on growth and quality was evaluated until the end of August. Growth of Kentucky bluegrass was reduced the most followed by dryland bentgrass, hard fescue, perennial ryegrass, rough bluegrass, creeping bentgrass, tall fescue and creeping red fescue as a result of 0.9 ml m-2 application rate respectively. When 1.8 ml m-2 rate was applied, growth of Kentucky bluegrass was suppressed the most followed by dryland bentgrass, hard fescue, rough bluegrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, creeping bentgrass and creeping red fescue respectively. When turf was treated with 3.6 ml m-2 of PP333, growth of Kentucky bluegrass was suppressed the most followed by dryland bentgrass, creeping red fescue or hard fescue, tall fescue or perennial ryegrass, rough bluegrass and creeping bentgrass respectively. Growth was reduced significantly until 11 July and suppressed 100% thereafter. Overall growth reduction, however, was from 83-100%. There was no adverse affect on turf quality until August when some notable reduction in quality of a few species was observed which is suggested to be as result of heat stress."
