What are Plant Growth Regulators for Grass?

Plant growth regulators were originally used on commercial turfgrass like golf courses or athletic fields. They are natural or synthetic chemicals that influence the growth habits and development of plants by altering plant hormones. Different types of PGRs can produce different results, and they should be applied during the growing season. Fairway Green now offers PGR applications in Raleigh and Charlotte.

How do Plant Growth Regulators Work?

One way PGRs work is by slowing down grass growth, or more specifically, changing how your grass grows. Plant Growth Regulators slow vertical growth and encourage lateral growth. This helps your Bermuda grass become thicker, creating a stronger turf density. PGRs inhibit enzymes responsible for cell elongation, which slows down vertical growth. By doing so, they help control plant height and reduce the need for frequent mowing. They also help stimulate root growth which improves nutrient uptake, water absorption, and more.
