Abstract/Contents: | "Many researchers have reported that trinexapac-ethyl [4-(cyclopropylhydroxy-methylene)-3,5-dioxo-cyclohexane -carboxylic acid ethylester] effectively reduces turfgrass leaf elongation and subsequent clipping production. Our hypothesis is that trinexapac-ethyl (TE) induced canopy growth and conductance reductions may also reduce turfgrass evapotranspiration (ET) rates. This study was conducted to determine if application of TE to mature, field-grown Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L. 'NuStar') would result in reduced weekly ET rates as measured by weighing bucket lysimeters. A randomized complete block design was used to compare the weekly ET rate (mm week-1) of Kentucky bluegrass (KGB) treated or not with TE (0.27 kg ha-1). Weighing bucket lysimeters containing KBG were treated with TE three times per year at 6-wk intervals in 1995, 1996, and 1997. Trinexapac-ethyl reduced KBG weekly ET in 5 wk out of a total of 34 wk sampled over 3 yr. Higher ET rates were not correlated with weekly clipping production for either untreated or TE-treated KBG. Possible ET reductions, coupled with reduced clipping production, indicate TE is an effective tool for managing numerous turfgrass systems." |
