| Abstract/Contents: | Evaluates four plant growth regulators (PGRs) for their effect on root development on newly sodded turf, and the comparative turf quality, clipping weights, clipping frequency and activity period after application. Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue and 'Tifgreen' hybrid bermudagrass were treated with five different spray application treatments of PGRs (flurprimidol, mefluidide, amidochlor, and two different rates of cimectacarb) under greenhouse conditions. "The turf was maintained at the optimum height for the species." Results indicated "that there would be little affect [effect] on a turfgrass sod treated with a PGR in terms of its ability to grow roots while still limiting, for a short period, foliar growth ... [F]luprimidol had the lowest clipping frequency and clipping weight, but it also had a lower quality rating, when hybrid bermudagrass was treated. It did not, however, inhibit rooting. Amidochlor also had a significantly reduced clipping weight and, up to the third week, a reduced clipping frequency, but it also had the lowest turf quality score throughout the trial and the least amount of rooting of all the treatments. Conversely, cimectacarb at the high rate, maintained a high quality rating and had good root growth, but only reduced the clipping frequency for 2 weeks after the application. Mefluidide apparently did little except reduce the turf quality on hybrid bermudagrass. It reduced clipping frequency slightly only during the second and third week, had clipping weights equal to or higher than the check, and root length equal to the check." |
