| Abstract/Contents: | Mefluidide, applied at 0.3 kg/ha on 3 dates in spring to field plots of 8 grasses, suppressed flowerhead production, notably in Poa trivialis, Holcus lanatus and Arrhenatherum elatius, especially when applied early. Vegetative yields were not significantly lowered and, since reproductive growth was retarded, quality was increased, as indicated by measurements of fibre content. The results support the concept of using a plant growth regulator to increase forage quality for improved animal productivity. |
