Carpet grass is a perennial warm-season lawn grass of the genus Carpet Grass of the Poaceae family. Carpet grass plants are low and spread flat on the ground in a carpet-like shape. The lawn formed by the expansion and spread of the creeping stems on the ground is green in color and thick in texture. It is like a carpet when stepped on. It has strong growth potential, fast formation, strong adaptability, resistance to trampling, and tolerance to extensive management. It is often used as a lawn for sports fields, landscaping grass for public green spaces, and lawn materials for soil consolidation and slope protection.
Application of plant growth regulators on carpet grass:
- Regulating plant growth
Spraying carpet grass lawns with 50~200mg/L Paclobutrazol solution or 10~50mg/L Uniconazole solution can significantly reduce plant growth and promote tillering, achieving the purpose of dwarfing and beautifying the lawn.
- Improve drought resistance
Spraying carpet grass lawns with 5mg/L S-ABA solution, 50mg/L Paclobutrazol solution or 10mg/L Uniconazole solution can improve its drought resistance and significantly reduce the degree of leaf scorch under drought conditions.
