Abstract/Contents:Presents a study "to evaluate how mowing quality of creeping bentgrass is affected by two different mowing setups and by plant growth regulators. Mower A was adjusted with reel-to-bedknife contact, while no-reel-to-bedknife contact was afforded to Mower B. Additionally, the mowing quality of turf treated with Embark 2S (Melfluidide), Primo 1EC (Trinexapac-ethyl) and Proxy 2SL (Ethephon) plant growth regulators was assessed." States that "of the two mower settings, the reel-to-bedknife contact mower set up consistently resulted in superior mowing quality compared to the no reel-to-bedknife contact mower adjustment. The Primo and untreated control treatments produced the best quality for the first four to five weeks after chemical treatment, while the Proxy and Embark treatments rated the best in the fourth to sixth weeks. Mowing injury was generally largest in the Embark and control treatments, although this data was highly variable."
