What has your PGR done for you lately? Let us count the ways…
Using a PGR is a rite of spring, but continuing to follow a PGR program throughout the season reaps rewards and benefits far beyond regulating growth. Here are six ways PGRs help your turf.
Why long-term PGR use makes sense
Recent research indicates that substantial and sustained reducations in annual bluegrass population resulted from consistent PGR program consistent over a multi-year period.
Limit Peaks and Valleys
Of their many benefits, PGRs offer golf course superintendents the ability to limit the peaks and valleys in their agronomic programs. Purdue University turf professor Dr. Cale Bigelow discusses why it's important for turf managers to establish and stick with a PGR program over the long term.
An essential tool
Considering the rapid product advancements taking place in the turfgrass industry, as well as superintendent ingenuity, the use patterns for plant growth regulator (PGRs) have been constantly evolving for golf course application.
The ultimate troubleshooter
Superintendents find ways to utilize PGRs around the course in maintenance-intensive areas -- such as around water features, irrigation heads and bunkers -- to free up labor for other agronomic tasks.
