Lawn Growth Regulators (LGRs) are chemicals that change the way grass grows. The most common type of LGR is a herbicide, which prevents weeds from germinating or growing. Other types of LGRs include fungicides and insecticides.
LGRs can be applied to lawns in several ways, including: broadcasting by hand or machine, using a drop spreader, or as a granular formulation that is applied with a broadcast spreader. For best results, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates and timing.
Many people use LGRs to reduce the amount of time spent mowing their lawns. By reducing the growth rate of grass, LGRs allow people to extend the time between mowing sessions. In some cases, people have found that they only need to mow their lawns once every two weeks or even once per month after applying an LGR!
While LGRs can be effective at reducing lawn maintenance, it is important to remember that they are not miracle products. They will not completely eliminate the need for mowing and other lawn care tasks. Additionally, overuse of LGRs can damage your grass and make it more susceptible to disease and pests.
