Title

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association As mowing height increased, more methiozolin was required to control 80% of annual bluegrass (C80).
- Association At two of three locations, post application irrigation increased annual bluegrass control at 0.3 inches or higher heights of cut.
- Recommendation The results support product label recommendations for increased use rates with higher heights of cut.
- Recommendation The results cannot confirm the need for post-application irrigation on putting green height turf.
