The control (no growth regulator applied) was the tallest (58,93 cm), but did not differ from treatments with the CCC growth regulator at doses of 2000 mg L-1
(applied once or twice a month) and 4000 mg L
-1
(appliedonce a month). This result is in line with Stefanini et al. (2002), who observed that bushy mat grass continued to grow after application of CCC at doses of 1000 and 2000 mg L-1. Holcomb and Gohn (1995) also failed to observe any reduction in the height of poinsettias treated with CCC at 3000 mg L-1.
