| Abstract/Contents: | SUMMARY: "The effects of six grass growth retardants, maleic hydrazide (+-2,4-D), mefluidide, paclobutrazol, EL 500 and a mixture of mefluidide with paclobutrazol on a grass/clover sward were compared over a 3-year period. Maleic hydrazide, which is the most commonly used retardant, gave poor levels of growth control except when used with 2,4-D. Greatest growth suppression, a 38% reduction in dry matter production from May to July, was obtained from a mixture of mefluidide and paclobutrazol. Differences were observed between the effects of the shoot-acting retardants, maleic hyudrazide and mefluidide and the root-acting retardants, paclobutrazol and EL 500. Shoot-acting retardants were less effective in wet weather and lasted for a shorter period than root-acting retardants. They also increased compensatory growth after a period of growth suppression, and increased the proportion of clover in the sward." |
