Abstract/Contents: | "By incorporating a growth regulator into roadside maintenance programs, highway maintenance supervisors and managers have been able to upgrade overall maintenance operations by allocatinng more time and money to other grounds improvements. Use of PGR breaks down the boredom of routine mowings, and mowing crews are exposed less often to the hazards associated with mowing and trimming. It also gives crews and opportunity to become more valuable in other ways. Plant growth regulators are a new management tool. A highway- or grounds-maintenance professional who can show how to do as good a job on a lower budget is one of the most valuable assets any management can ask for these days. If you have areas that are real problems to mow or if the grass is growing faster than your budget, a plant growth regulator just might be the answer." |
