| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses plant growth regulators (PGRs) as a possible alternative for reducing the rate of grass growth. States that PGRs cut the workload of turfgrass maintenance by saving time and money when compared with mowing. They should be applied after green-up, but before seed stalk elongation. Spraying before full green-up keeps grass from greening up and spraying late allows seedheads to appear. After three or four weeks one will notice retardation and discoloration, but it is quickly countered in the fifth and sixth week by color quality improvement and tall and more foliar development. If better appearance is desired to the area or areas where PGRs have been applied, then mow soon after application; three to seven days is desirable. Managers recognize the need for combining herbicides with PGRs. Workable ones are Escort and Embark. PGRs mainly retard turfgrass. Two types of PGRs are available. First root uptake materials which are dependent on rainfall or irrigation to carry active ingredients of PGRs. Second, foliar uptake which requires approximately eight hours between application and rainfall or irrigation. |
