Are plant growth retardants a strategy to decrease lodging and increase yield of sunflower? [PDF]

, 2016
One of the major disadvantages of sunflower cultivation is the increased plant height, making it prone to the lodging. The use of plant growth retardants can be an alternative strategy to reduce plant height; however, these compounds may affect ...

Shade, height of cut, and plant growth regulator effects on bermudagrass and zoysiagrass putting greens

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Warm‐season turfgrasses, especially hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers × Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy), continue to be widely used on golf course putting greens in tropical and subtropical climates globally and are also gaining popularity in the transition zone region of the United States.

Seed Yield and Lodging Assessment in Red Fescue (Festuca rubra L.) Sprayed with Trinexapac-Ethyl [PDF]

, 2019
Red fescue (Festuca rubra) is used in seed mixtures for lawns and pastures. It is prone to lodge at flowering, and plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent lodging, ensuring sufficient pollination. Seed yield and lodging were studied over three

Is there a relationship between clipping weight and volume on golf course fairways?

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2024.
Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are regularly used on golf courses to reduce mowing requirements. PGR efficacy is commonly assessed via measurements of clipping weight; however, this process is time consuming and requires specialized equipment. Golf course superintendents have started to evaluate PGR efficacy via measurements of clipping volume.

Managing Stress Tolerance on Warm-Season Putting Greens in the Transition Zone [PDF]

, 2022
The use of warm-season putting greens in the transition zone has increased in recent years. Ultradwarf bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) is the most prevalent warm-season putting green selection in the transition ...

Management strategies for preventing and recovering from bermudagrass winterkill

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2024.
Abstract Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp. Rich) is a warm‐season grass that is widely planted throughout tropical, sub‐tropical, and even temperate climates, and it generally requires fewer inputs than most cool‐season turfgrasses. In recent years, the area of adaptation for bermudagrass has progressively expanded to cooler climates due to the development of

Plant health effects of fungicides alone and in combination with plant growth regulator on improving summer turf performance in annual bluegrass

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2024.
Abstract Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is sensitive to high‐temperature stress, and approaches that can improve plant growth during summer months are important for golf courses managing P. annua putting greens. The objective of this 2‐year field trial was to determine plant health benefits for selected fungicides and the combination with a plant ...
