Total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) flux of creeping bentgrass receiving sequential applications of growth retardants

Turfgrass growth retardants, trinexapac-ethyl, flurprimidol and paclobutrazol were treated in an initial greenhouse study but only trinexapac-ethyl was included in subsequent field and greenhouse experiments. Applications of trinexapac-ethyl (0.28 kg ha$\sp{-1}),$ flurprimidol (0.56 kg ha$\sp{-1}),$ and paclobutrazol (0.28 kg ha$\sp{-1})$ once, every 2 and 4 weeks during an 8 week period increased verdure TNC of creeping bentgrass 2 WAT in the greenhouse experiments. However, TNC content of treated turfs was significantly lower than untreated control from 6 weeks after an initial application both in greenhouse and field studies.
