Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Control turf quality fell below commercial acceptability by month two.
- Intervention effect Propiconazole improved turf quality by 13% to 17% through September.
- Intervention effect Trinexapac-ethyl darkened leaf color.
- Intervention effect PPC darkened leaf color.
- Intervention effect Trinexapac-ethyl increased mid-trial root strength by 27%.
- Intervention effect PPC increased mid-trial root strength by 29%.
- Intervention effect TE increased canopy photochemical efficiency in August.
- Intervention effect TE increased leaf SOD activity in August.
- Intervention effect Fe did not affect quality, root strength, SOD, or photochemical efficiency.
- Intervention effect CPR did not affect quality, root strength, SOD, or photochemical efficiency.
- Intervention effect SWE+HA did not affect quality, root strength, SOD, or photochemical efficiency.
- Intervention effect These treatments periodically increased turf color.
- Intervention effect CPR added to TE in 2002 produced results no different from TE alone.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that restricting leaf elongation with anti-GA PGRs is primary for shade tolerance.
