As density of treated fairways increases due to altered growth habit, ball playability <br />may improve, causing ball to sit higher on turf. This result is most evident on hybrid <br />bermudagrass. <br />Seedhead formation will not be prevented. Seedheads should be mowed off as they <br />grow above turf cutting height to maintain a desirable -looking turf. <br />Excessive irrigation and/or nitrogen fertilization may shorten period of growth regula- <br />tion. <br />Regulator response will vary somewhat according to turf variety. For St. Augustinegrass, <br />Bitter Blue will be the most responsive and Floratam the least responsive. <br />HYBRID BERMUDAGRASS <br />Cultivar <br />Sensitivity/Activity <br />Period of Growth <br />Period of Color <br />Regulation <br />Response <br />Tifway I, II <br />Medium/Good <br />5 - 6 weeks <br />6 - 8 weeks <br />Tifgreen <br />High/Excellent <br />6 - 8 weeks <br />8 - 10 weeks <br />Ormond <br />High/Excellent <br />6 - 8 weeks <br />8 - 10 weeks <br />ST.

Space the applications of Clarelle and oxadiazon-based preemergence <br />products at least 4 weeks apart on putting greens. <br />If a weed, disease or insect problem occurs after application of Clarelle, apply an <br />appropriate control product at its recommended rate. Clarelle is compatible with most <br />existing control products. Use of Clarelle in combination with fungicides containing <br />propiconazole, fenarimol, triadimefon, and myclobutanil can result in increased growth <br />inhibition of Poa annua on putting greens. <br />
