| Abstract/Contents: | Growth retardants applied alone and in combination to four grasses suppressed grass height and seedhead expression for periods ranging from six to twelve weeks depending on the chemical and rate used. The longest and most effective suppression of grass height was obtained with combinations of amidochlor + paclobutrazole while combinations of mefluidide + paclobutrazole were nearly as effective with less turf injury visible. Amidochlor alone provided 6 weeks of suppression and mefluidide alone provided five to six weeks of growth suppression. Mefluidide was more effective in controlling seedhead expression than amidochlor and the addition of paclobutrazole to either chemical did not improve seedhead control. The addition of a wetting agent to mefluidide treatments did not greatly affect growth, nor did it enhance or suppress turf injury. Three new compounds, ACP 1900, S-1240 and S-380 provided no effective control of grass growth. Grasses which were the tallest at 8 weeks consequently had greatest turf injury rating late in the test due to scalping and summer heat stress. Red fescue appeared the least tolerant of these grasses to treatment and injury levels during the test were low but noticeable for all treatments at all rates. |
