What is the effect of applying growth regulators in heavy traffic areas?

Applying growth regulators in heavy traffic areas can have specific impacts on grass health and regrowth. In such environments, the stress on the grass is substantially increased due to foot traffic, which can lead to injury or damage. Growth regulators are designed to modify plant growth patterns; however, their use in areas where grass is already under stress can be counterproductive.

By hindering the natural growth processes of the grass, these regulators can interfere with the plant's ability to recover from stress. In heavy traffic zones, where grass needs to regenerate often to withstand the wear and tear, the application of growth regulators may inhibit regrowth, leading to weaker plants and potentially bare patches. Therefore, caution is advised when considering their use in these areas, as they can negatively impact the recovery and overall health of the grass.
