Title
Cool‐season growth responses of kikuyu grass and ryegrass to gibberellic acid

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid at 100 g a.i./ha in July produced rapid visual responses in kikuyu grass and ryegrass swards.
- Intervention effect The greatest kikuyu response to gibberellic acid was equivalent to 11 kg DM/ha/day.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid affected mainly the vertical distribution of dry matter in both grasses.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid indicatively reduced regrowth after trimming of kikuyu and ryegrass.
