“…If application is made later, there may not be much growth inhibition.! This work was in two segments: (a) test applications of MH in 1961MH in , 1962MH in , and 1963and (b) replicated experiments in 1964 at four scattered locations in Minnesota. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of MH for regulating grass growth on highway rights-of-way with the objective of reducing mowing requirements on the roadsides.…”

MH (1,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione) was applied at 4 to 6 lb/A, in spring and fall, with and without (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D), on roadsides normally mowed from 2 to 12 times a year. MH at 6 lb/A applied in spring generally reduced grass height. Lower rates and fall applications were generally ineffective. Depending on area, rural or urban, and retardant effectiveness, between zero and five mowings per year were saved. When the MH was effective and the turf was not strong and vigorous, annual weeds such as crabgrass (Digitaria spp. Heist.), foxtail (Setaria spp. Beauv.), and ragweed (Ambrosia spp. L.) often increased and gave the roadside an undesirable appearance. When MH was used without 2,4-D, the roadside generally had a poorer appearance than when not treated. When MH was applied with 2,4-D and no application ‘'skips” or annual weed infestation occurred, the roadside sometimes had a satisfactory appearance. The time when MH can be effectively applied is short (about 2 weeks). Rains, winds, and springtime roadway work make proper timing of applications difficult under Minnesota conditions. Applications of 2,4-D alone or with MH were effective in reducing roadside weeds.

Summary. Plants of Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Sorghum helepense (L.) Pers. and Cyperus rotundus L. were treated with the following growth regulators by dipping or foliar spraying: chlormequat, N‐dimethylamino succinamic acid (B–995), MH, 2‐chloroethane phosphonic acid (ethephon), flurecol and chlorflurecol. Effects varied from stimulation to inhibition of aerial growth, increases in shoot number, and kill of plants. The effect of combinations of foliar spraying with ethephon, MH, flurecol or chlorflurecol followed after 2 days by spraying with the herbicides dalapon or aminotriazole activated with ammonium thiocyanate, was investigated. The herbicides applied alone had no marked effect but combinations were generally more toxic. Ethephon stimulated growth of C. dactylon but combination with dalapon was phytotoxic. MH sprayed alone and combinations of flurecol or chlorflurecol with dalapon or aminotriazole were highly inhibitory to S. halepense. None of the treatments completely inhibited regrowth of C. rotundus. Effets de diverses substances de croissance sur Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. et Cyperus rotundus L. Résumé. Des plantes de Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., de Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. et de Cyperus rotundus L. ont été traitées par trempage ou pulvérisation folaire avec les substances de croissance suivantes: chlorméquat, adde N‐diméthylamine succinique (B‐995), hydrazide maléique, acide 2‐chloroéthane phosphonique (éthéphon), flurécol et chlorflurécol. Les effets furent variables, depuis la stimulation jusqu'à l'inhibition de la partie aérienne, l'accroissement du nombre de tiges et la mort de la plante. L'auteur a étudié l'effet de combinaisons de pulvérisations foliaires avec l'éthéphon, I'hydrazide malélque. le flurécol ou le chlorflurécol suivies deux jours plus tard de traitements au dalapon ou à l'aminotriazole activé avec le thyocyanate d'ammonium. Les herbicides appliqués seuls n'eurent pas un effet marqué mais les combinaisons furent en général plus toxiques. L'éthéphon stimule la croissance de Cynodon dactylon, mais la combinaison avec le dalapon fut phytotoxique. L'hydrazide maléique appliqué seul et les combinaisons de flurécol ou de chlorflurécol avec le dalapon ou I'aminotriazole furent hautement inhibiteurs pour Sorghum halepense. Aucun des traitements n'inhiba completement la repousse de Cyperus rotundus. Wirkung von Wackstunsregulatoren auf Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. und Cyperus rotundus L. Zusammenfassung. Pflanzen von Cyrwdon dactylon (L.) Pers., Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. und Cyperus rotundus L. wurden durch Eintauchen oder Blattspritzung mit folgenden Wachslun Lsregulatoren behandelt: Chlormequat, B‐995, MH, 2‐Chlorächanphosphonsaure (Ethephon), Flurenol und Chlorflurenol. Die erzielten Effekte variierten zwischen Stimulierung und Hemmung des Sprosswachstums, Erhöhung der Zahl der Triebe und Abtötung der Pflanzen. Die Herbizide Dalapon und Aminotriazol, letzteres mit Ammoniumthiocyanat aktiviert, wurden zwei Tage nac...
