Why Are You Spraying Growth Regulator?

Directly in the middle of the picture, you can see a patch of light green poa annua.  While it is cool and damp, the poa has a competitive advantage over the bentgrass.  We apply a light rate of growth regulator to keep the poa regulated, so the greens are not as bumpy.  This also helps keep the seedheads in check, which helps prevent the poa from spreading.  THAT is why you saw us spraying greens with growth regulator this week when it was so cold.
