| Abstract/Contents: | "The effectiveness of ethephon for reducing the growth of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.), when grown as single plants in pot culture in the greenhouse or outdoors, and within a Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) sod, was evaluated. Ethephon reduced the growth of annual bluegrass more than that of Kentucky bluegrass. Concentration was more important in reducing plant spread than the number of applications. Ethephon applied to field grown turf reduced the leaf area per tiller of annual bluegrass but not Kentucky bluegrass. Leaves per tiller and the shoot dry weight of field grown Kentucky bluegrass increased with increasing ethephon rates compared to nontreated plots. Although significant growth retardation occurred for both species in pot culture, only Kentucky bluegrass canopy height decreased in the field with increasing ethephon rates. Decreased Kentucky bluegrass canopy height resulted from reduced sheath length." |
