Application of Plant Growth Regulators on Grass and Lawns – White Clover

White clover is an excellent grass species with bright leaves, dense flowers, good flowers and leaves, fine and soft grass, fast reproduction, strong competitiveness in lawn, good resistance, easy to establish and maintain.

It is an excellent lawn grass. White clover can be planted alone in patches, or mixed with grass species such as bluegrass and tall fescue.

During normal growth, due to the creeping growth of the stems, the plant height will not exceed that of lawn grass. During the flowering period, the flower stalks extend out and are higher than the lawn grass.

The white flowers are dotted in a thick green, which can enrich the color and ornamental value of the lawn. In addition, white clover is also widely used in soil consolidation and slope protection greening in airports, highways, river embankments and lake banks, etc., which has a good ground coverage and greening effect.

Application of plant growth regulators on white clover:

  1. Promote seed germination

Soaking seeds with 20 mg/L IAA or NAA solution can not only accelerate the germination of white clover seeds and increase the germination rate, but also promote early seed germination and radicle growth, increase the root-to-shoot ratio, and the rapid growth of roots.

The growth is conducive to the grass seeds taking root, fixing the plants and accelerating the formation of the lawn.

  1. Regulate plant growth

Spraying 250~750 mg/L Triacontanol solution on white clover plants can significantly inhibit the growth of leaves and internodes, narrow the leaf width, and increase the stem thickness.

In addition, applying 750 mg/L Triacontanol solution to a 3-year-old white clover lawn after 40 days not only significantly inhibited the growth height and internodal growth of the white clover leaves, but also deepened the green color of the leaves, and also enhanced the resistance of the stems and leaves to low temperatures. , significantly improve the growth ability of white clover leaves after frost.

  1. Improve drought resistance

Spraying 75mg/L s-aba solution on white clover plants from February to June can significantly reduce the evaporation of white clover leaves and improve the early resistance of white clover.
