Answer:
Regular mowing (cutting
at apex) of lawn grass removes the apical portion of the plant which causes the
lateral branches to grow faster. As the apical buds inhibits growth of lateral
buds by releasing auxin, the phenomenon called apical dominance.
Because of mowing of
the grass, it becomes bushy and growth is faster. So, as to make evenness of
the grass (carpet-like) in the lawn this practice is followed regularly to
overcome the problem of apical dominance.
