The stickies on the Cool Season Lawn Guide is a great source for your questions, members have taken time to write or answer common questions: PGR + Cool Season Grass
Now that I've been using it for 2 years, PGR is one of the things I wouldn't do lawn care without. I apply 0.35oz/K trinexapac every 2 weeks, and the benefits I've noticed are:
  • Slows down growth and reduces the amount of mowing needed. When I do mow, there's far less clippings.
  • Increases density,
  • Significantly enhances color.
  • Reduces seed heads
  • Increases root mass
  • Does wonders for me as far as drought resistance through the summer.

It's a jug of magic :D
 
I was applying to lawns that get cut every other week. Trying (at the time) to give my lawn mow guys a little break.
What was the goal? To cut every three weeks? A month?
Do you also apply DMI fungicides?
