View larger version (14K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. Growth temperature effects on non-TE-treated ‘Tifway’ bermudagrass shoot biomass. First exposure to growth temperatures was 3 wk prior to initial application of trinexapac-ethyl (TE) at a rate of 0.11 kg a.i. ha-1. Vertical lines above each time point represent calculated Fisher's Protected LSD values at P = 0.05.

Trinexapac-ethyl was applied at a rate of 0.11 kg a.i. ha-1 1 wk prior to initial measurements. Vertical lines above significant time points represent calculated Fisher's Protected LSD values at P = 0.05.

Effects of growth temperature and trinexapac-ethyl (TE) on the number of stolons emerging from the central core of transplanted bermudagrass sod. Vertical lines above each time point represent calculated Fisher's Protected LSD values at P = 0.05.

View larger version (20K): [in a new window]   Fig. 5. Effects of trinexapac-ethyl (TE) on bermudagrass visual quality during the 1997 growing season. Quality was assessed using a 1 to 9 scale (1 = dead or fully dormant turf, 9 = ideal turf, and 5 = minimally acceptable turf). Vertical lines above each time point represent calculated Fisher's Protected LSD values at P = 0.05.
