Abstract/Contents:Discusses the three approved growth regulators on the UK market: mefluidide, maleic hydrazide, and trinexapac-ethyl. Explains the differences between the products. Discusses the possible benefits of their use including annual meadow-grass management, improved overseeding results, color enhancement, reduced water and nitrogen usage, enhanced root growth, and faster golf green speeds. States that "if UK research shows the same benefits as that carried out in the US then the way we managed some types of fine turf in the UK might be about to change!"
