Abstract:
1. A method for regulating turfgrass growth, comprising: applying to turfgrass a liquid composition containing a Class A gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor so as to cause Class A gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor to be present on the turfgrass, wherein the Class A gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor is trinexapac-ethyl; and applying to the turfgrass a liquid composition containing a Class B gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor so as to cause Class B gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor to be present on the turfgrass, wherein the Class B gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor is paclobutrazol or flurprimidol, and wherein the paclobutrazol or flurprimidol is applied at a rate of 0.125 pounds or less per acre of the turfgrass; wherein said Class A and Class B gibberellin synthesis inhibitors exhibit synergism in regulating growth of the turfgrass.
