Abstract/Contents:Presents a study "to determine if and how Primo, applied during or following periods of optimum growth, impacts late-season growth and freezing tolerance in the field." Results include that "areas receiving three seasonal applications of Primo exhibited enhanced turfgrass quality throughout the experiment. In contrast, the single late-season application of Primo resulted in reduced turfgrass quality...Results...supported patterns of natural bermudagrass progression into winter dormancy, with expected increases in freezing tolerance as autumn progressed...Primo applied late in the growing season resulted in enhanced stolon freezing tolerance in October, but a slightly reduced stolon freezing tolerance by November." Discusses possible causes for the patterns observed in the study.
