| Abstract/Contents: | "Sod heating during storage can liimit the distance sod may be shipped. Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of multiple preharvest applications of trinexapac-ethyl[4-cyclopropyl-α-hydroxy-methylene) -3,5- dioxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester] at 0.23 kg ·ha-1 (0.21 lb/acre) on kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) sod temperatures during the first 24 h of storage. Experimantal design was completely randomized with three replications and a 2 (trinexapac-ethyl verses [versus] control) x 3 (8-h storage intervals) factorial arrangements of treatments. Trinexapac-ethyl treatments were applied 6 and 2 weeks before harvest in the second experiment. Two and three applications of trinexapac-ethyl reduced sod became significantly different than untreated sod within 4 h after harvest. Mean sod temperatures in both experiments were 3°C (6 °F) cooler in treated sod after 12 h of storage than untreated sod. These results suggest that trinexapac-ethyl could be used by sod growers to extend storage times and increase shipping and market areas. A mulitple application program can enable sod growers to maximize the enhancement effects to trinexapac-ethyl on sod storage life." |
