Does anybody know of a way to retard the grownth of grass without killing it

If 2,4-D is still available there, that might work.
Otherwise, Google for "auxin analogs".

what is 24,d
saps - 6-5-2005 at 18:49
where is "there"?

2,4 D Amine is still available. However it selectively targets broadleaf weeds.
Don't know of any herbicide that slows down grass growth, only kills it.
Poast in a very low rate might suppress it.

No, not the amine salt. I meant 2,4-D itself. Isn't it still available? I know it ain't banned like 2,4,5-T.
Yes, it will kill broadleafs (dicots in more scientific terminology), but he wanted to suppress grass growth, so that should work.
Sethoxydim (Poast), I don't think so. Its mech, IIRC, is to mess around with fatty acid synthesis, so it's just going to shut down
metabolism and wilt the grass.

P.S. I didn't want to answer his question at once since I hoped he'd UTFSE.

Way back when radar was new the display format wasn't the nice polar diagram you get now, it was just a plot of received signal strength on the
vertical axis versus echo time. Any noise in the system would show up as random spikes on the display. This was refered to as grass.
The circuit that removed it was called
a lawnmower.

does anybody have an auxin analog that will increase stem +leaf growth?
