본 연구는 한국잔디로 조성된 잔디밭에서 예초 직후에 prohexadione-calcium을 엽면 처리하여 잔디와 경합하는 클로버의 생장을 억제하는 효과를 구명하기위하여 수행되었다. 클로버의 엽병장과 엽면적은 prohexadione-calcium의 처리로 7주에도 무처리에 비하여 현저하게 억제되었고, 클로버의 생엽중도 무처리에 비하여 현저하게 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. 엽색도는 무처리에 비하여 prohexadione-calcium 처리구가 높아졌고, 처리 농도가 높아질수록 엽색도도 높아지는 것으로 조사되었다. 잔디밭에서 클로버를 방임할 때보다 prohexadione-calcium의 처리는 클로버의 피복율을 현저히 억제할 수 있었다.
This experiment was carried out to investigate the growth responses of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) as affected by prohexadione-calcium foliar application for the growth restraint in the lawn yard, field and golf course etc. The leaf length and leaf weight of white clover were significantly retarded compared to the untreated plot with foliar application of prohexadione-calcium after mowing within 1 day, and the effect was continued up to 50 days. The leaf area of clover with prohexadione-calcium treatment was to be narrowed as compared to untreated plot. The SPAD value of the leaf colour was increased in the treated plots and was to be continued for 40 days more. The coverage rate of clover was decreased with prohexadione-calcium foliar application after mowing in the lawn ground.
